Morningstar TriStar 60 Amp 600 VDC MPPT Charge Controller

Note: Product picture and datasheet shows TriStar MPPT 600V version charge controllers with optional display meters, sold seperately. Meter options for these charge controllers are TriStar 600V Meter (TS-M-2-600V) and TriStar Remote Meter (TS-RM-2).

Morningstar TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB includes a pre-wired DC disconnect box

The TriStar MPPT (TS-MPPT-60-600V-48) is one of the few 600V charge controllers available. It can be used with high voltage solar systems. It can also be used with wind turbines or hydropower systems with input voltages higher than 150V. The TriStar MPPT provides great flexibility when working with existing or expanding photovoltaic systems. The 600V voltage input allow for longer cable runs when the charge controller is mounted far away from the solar array.

The TriStar MPPT 600V (TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB) Charge Controller. Morningstar launched the TriStar MPPT Controller family in 2009. Today this line of MPPT controllers has become the world’s leading photovoltaic charge controllers/regulators — operating in myriad autonomous residential commercial and industrial installations around the globe.

The TS-MPPT-600V builds off of these varied application experiences, and Morningstar’s 20 years of power electronics’ engineering excellence, to deliver our customers the best overall charge controller solution for their stand-alone or back-up (solar- or wind-powered) system installation needs.

Morningstar’s products are built from the inside out and deliver more than twice the industry average in operating life.

The TS-MPPT-600V—with its robust thermal, mechanical and electrical design; extensive electronic protections; no moving parts as well as epoxy encapsulated inductors and conformally coated printed circuit boards— delivers high reliability and excellent performance.

The TS-MPPT-600V is manufactured in a certified ISO 9001 facility and has been extensively tested. Its certifications include:

• RoHS Compliant, CE and NEC Compliant
• FCC Part 15 Class B Compliant
• Canadian ICES-003 and UL-1741 (CSA C22.2 No. 107-1-01) Listed

Morningstar’s TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller is available with and without a DC Disconnect Box. Model TS-MPPT-60-600V-48-DB includes a compact on-board DC Disconnect Box, which helps to save on installation time and cost. The DC Disconnect Box enables the TriStar MPPT 600V charge controller to be used in either positively-grounded or negatively-grounded PV systems. The DC Disconnect Box includes the following features:

• PV Disconnect Switch
• Battery Disconnect Breaker (Positive pole battery breaker)
• Four (4) Bus Bars (One for each: PV +/-, Battery +/-)
• Two (2) Standard 35mm DIN Rails
• High-Low Voltage Barrier (Internal barriers between the high voltage PV and low voltage battery wiring)
