The Kent G3 Hybrid Inverter is Kent’s three-phase hybrid platform, combining PV, low-voltage battery, grid, backup, and a generator port in 10, 12, and 15 kW models. Before you wire anything, understand the ratings, the connection layout, and the limits that make this platform different from every other Kent unit.

Platform Facts Every Installer Must Know

  • Three-phase 3/N/PE, 220/380 V or 230/400 V. Grid window 323–460 V, 50/60 Hz.
  • Low-voltage battery: 40–60 V DC, Li-ion or lead-acid, BMS communicated over CAN (RS485 also supported).
  • Backup transfer < 10 ms, overload 2× rated power for 10 s, max continuous AC pass-through 50 A, max phase imbalance 50%.
  • IP66, operating −40 °C to +60 °C, RH 0–95%, altitude ≤ 4000 m. Smart fan cooling: air enters LEFT, exits RIGHT. Noise < 65 dB(A). Weight ≤ 42 kg. Non-isolated. Night self-consumption < 30 W.
  • PV: max 1000 V, MPPT window 200–850 V, startup 160 V, two MPPTs (up to 3 strings on 10/12 kW, 4 on 15 kW).
  • GEN port is three-phase and rated to the inverter’s own power and current per model.

Wire Box and Connection Points

The wire box gives you access to every field connection in one place:
  • DC switch — PV disconnect
  • Battery input — dual 2+2 M8 terminals
  • GEN port — three-phase generator or AC-couple input
  • AC Backup port — backup loads panel
  • AC Grid port — utility connection
  • PV inputs — MC4-compatible string connectors
  • COM4/COM5 — CT conductors and G-V dry contact (16-pin block)
  • COM2/COM3 — RJ45 glands for BMS, meter, and parallel cables
  • Datalogger stick port — USB (COM1), datalogger only
  • Bluetooth antenna — fit at installation
The datalogger stick is fitted physically at installation and activated with Kent Central Command — documentation to follow. All commissioning steps on this site use the on-device HMI (screen and four keys); no app is required.

What This Platform Is Not

The Kent G3 is not a single-phase machine and is not interchangeable with the Kent M1. Torque values, menu passwords, DIP switch positions, TOU units, and DG rules all differ between platforms. If you work across both, print the Mixed-Fleet Cheat Card before you start.
