1.0 Introduction
1.1 Theory of Operation
The RoseWater Hub SB20 system is a Double Conversion Energy Storage System (ESS) that provides conditioned
back up power to critical loads. It is intended for critical powering in large residential and small commercial applications.
Placement of the system is intended to be in a temperature controlled, clean environment (e.g. A/V room, utility room, or
garage).
The SB20 is a single bay system that houses ESS inverters, supervisory components, switch mode rectiers for
battery charging and three battery strings. Two shelves of inverter modules are used to supply a critical load panel with
conditioned 120/240V AC power up to 20kVA derived from the utility source when it is available and inverted from the
DC bus sources when utility line power is not available. One shelf of the system supplies L1 phase and the second shelf
supplies L2 power in a split phase arrangement. An individual inverter shelf accommodates up to (4) removable inverter
modules to match power or redundancy needs of the system. The system also includes a mechanical wraparound switch
providing AC bypass from the utility source to the load when needed for maintenance of the inverter. The bypass switch is
make before break providing seamless output power when operated. Two rectier modules are used to provide 3.84KW of
battery recharge power. There are three 48VDC battery strings for a total of 28.8KWh capacity at the 100hr rate.
The system is designed to accept additional Extended Battery Package (SB-EBP) for increased battery capacity. It also
has an auxiliary 48VDC input that can accept up to 200A from a charging source such as PV array, wind turbine or other
energy source.

2.0 System Pre-Installation
2.1 Site Selection
The RoseWater Hub SB20 is designed to be installed in a controlled environment (maximum ambient temperature of
104°F), sheltered from rain, excessive dust and other contaminants. See Table 8-4.
The batteries used in the RoseWater Hub SB20 are valve regulated lead acid and may off-gas hydrogen. The area the
system is installed in must be well ventilated to prevent the build up of potentially explosive combinations of hydrogen and
oxygen. Ventilation may either be passive or active with active systems requiring redundancy in case of fan failure. See
Table 8-4 for Environmental Specications.
Consider both the oor loading and the physical space required for the RoseWater SB20 power system and the batteries.
See Section 2.4 for clearance and Table 8-3 for weight requirements.
2.2 Floor Plan Layout
Sufcient free space must be provided at the front, rear, and sides of the power system to meet the cooling requirements
of the power system and to allow easy access to components.
Consider the following before selecting a location for the RoseWater power system:
• Structure of the building able to support the additional weight of the system.
• Enough space to meet the requirements for access to the system. See Section 2.4.
• Adequate cooling to compensate for additional heat per Section 8.0 Technical Specications, Table 8-4.
• Perform the following actions to ensure proper performance of the system:
• Ensure that the loads that are powered by the system do not exceed system surge or capacity ratings.
• Calculate and record the backup energy/power required for the batteries/DC power source to assure desired
backup time.
• Determine the pre-installation preparations that must take place:
• Determine the wiring and conduit routing that must take place for the AC input disconnects.
• Determine the wiring and conduit routing that must take place for the AC output critical load panel.
• Determine the wiring and conduit routing that must take place for the Auxiliary DC or Solar Array input (if
applicable).
• Determine the wiring and routing for the RoseWater HUB’s network connection to the internet.
2.3 Transporting and Unpacking the Cabinets
A third-party, specializing in the transportation of large electrical systems, handles the shipping, unpacking, and placing
of the cabinets. The cabinets are individually crated and shipped on pallets to prevent damage. The cabinets are then
interconnected on-site. The Inverter Modules, Rectier Modules and Batteries are to be installed after the cabinet has
been placed.
