Inverter Battery Backup Power

Seamless and quiet power backup for critical items

The Inverter Battery Backup (IBB) system uses power from the electrical grid to charge a battery bank. In the event of a power outage the system seamlessly transfers critical electrical services to battery power.

Critical electrical services are determined by the client as those services essential for personal or business reasons. The electrical circuits for items deemed ‘critical’ are relocated to a separate Critical Load Panel. This panel will receive power from the battery during an outage.

The transfer from grid to backup is seamless. There is no loss of connection and the battery backup is completely silent.

How it Works

The ***electrical grid*** sends AC power to the battery inverter. The ***battery inverter*** changes AC power to DC to charge the battery.

During a power outage, the ***battery bank*** provides DC power to the inverter.

The ***inverter*** changes DC current to AC current, the current required by most appliances, and delivers power to the ***critical load panel***.

The ***critical load circuits*** receive power as the battery is discharged. When power returns, the battery is recharged.

IBB Sizing

The system is sized based upon the electrical load of items deemed critical and the number of hours of backup needed. To size the IBB system correctly, Vegas Electric will perform a critical load evaluation in which we will determine the electrical load needing backup and the duration of backup time. We will also evaluate your existing electrical service panel to design a separate critical load panel.
