Ferroamp EnergyHub cabinet 3-phase 28K – EnergyHub XL 28 kVA in 19″ rack
The Ferroamp EnergyHub Cabinet 28K is based on EnergyHub XL technology: a bidirectional 3-phase inverter that converts energy from AC → DC as well as from DC → AC.
It connects the public grid (230/400 VAC) to the Ferroamp DC nanogrid (760 V DC), to which you connect PV via Solar String Optimisers (SSO), batteries and (optionally) DC loads, among others. The big advantage: a tight system design that easily grows with you.
Why a “cabinet” version?
- Neat in 19″ rack: uncluttered installation, ideal for technical rooms and business environments.
- Service-friendly: clearly separated AC/DC connection points and space for neat cable routing.
- Scalable: Ferroamp is thought modular; expand without replacing your entire base.

Ambient conditions
- Temperature: -10°C to +45°C (power may decrease at higher temperatures)
- Humidity: 0 – 95% RH (non-condensing)
- Protection rating: IP21 (indoor/technical room)
Safeguards and standards
- Protections: AC overvoltage protection, DC overvoltage protection, DC bus short circuit, overheating
- LVD: EN 62109-1, EN 62109-2
- EMC: EN 61000-6-2, EN 61000-6-3
- Mains connection: EN 50438:2013
- RoHS: yes
Installation tips (nice and practical)
- IP21 = indoor: place the cabinet in a dry technical room with sufficient ventilation.
- Reserve space in the rack: take into account cable radius, airflow and service access.
- Dimension mains protection neatly: work according to the design with MCB type B 40 A and appropriate cabling/main connection.
- Keep DC bus clear: short, logical routes and clear labelling (DC+, M, DC-, PE).
- For growth plans: Ferroamp is made for expansion – take this into account in space and infrastructure.
