SMA Backup Box for Sunny Tripower Hybrid X BU-STPH-4P63B

SMA Backup Box for Sunny Tripower Hybrid X BU-STPH-4P63B

Note: The SMA Backup Box is exclusively compatible with the SMA Sunny Tripower Hybrid X – a compatible battery storage system is required for backup and emergency power operation.

Three-phase emergency and backup power solution for the entire home – fully automatic, reliable and black-start capable.

The SMA Backup Box (BU-STPH-4P63B) is the emergency power solution for the SMA Sunny Tripower Hybrid X and enables fully automatic three-phase emergency power supply for the entire home or small commercial building in the event of a grid failure. With a maximum continuous current of 63 A, the entire home network is protected – without any manual intervention. The Backup Box is installed as a separate wall-mounted unit and automatically takes over the emergency power supply in the event of a grid failure. Thanks to its black-start capability, the system can restart independently even after extended grid outages. In grid-connected mode, the Backup Box consumes virtually no power – in emergency power mode under 4 W. Up to 3 Sunny Tripower Hybrid X inverters can be operated in parallel, making this emergency power solution suitable for larger systems and higher power requirements.

Backup Box vs. Backup Kit – what is the difference?

Both products enable the same function – fully automatic three-phase emergency power supply with the Sunny Tripower Hybrid X. The difference lies in the installation method: the Backup Box is a compact, ready-to-install unit for wall mounting – ideal when no suitable distribution board is available or the emergency power component is to be installed separately. The Backup Kit, on the other hand, is designed for DIN rail mounting in an existing distribution board – more space-saving and ideal for installations where everything should be housed in one enclosure. Both variants are functionally identical.

Features

  • Fully automatic emergency power supply: Three-phase protection of the entire home network in the event of a grid failure – without manual intervention.
  • 63 A continuous current: Sufficient for the entire home or small commercial building – all consumers remain available in emergency power mode.
  • Black-start capable: The system can restart independently even after extended grid outages.
  • Virtually no self-consumption: No power consumption in grid-connected mode, under 4 W in emergency power mode.
  • Wall mounting: Compact, ready-to-install unit – easy installation even without an existing distribution board.
  • Parallel operation: Up to 3 Sunny Tripower Hybrid X inverters can be operated in parallel.

Safety Instructions:

  1. Installation by qualified personnel: The installation of a PV storage system must only be carried out by qualified professionals.
  2. Ensure ventilation: Install the storage system in a well-ventilated area to ensure heat dissipation and prevent the risk of overheating.
  3. Observe fire safety regulations: Battery storage systems should be installed at a safe distance from flammable materials.
  4. Ensure accessibility: Install the storage system in an easily accessible location to allow for safe maintenance and emergency shutdown.
  5. Mechanical safety: Ensure that the battery storage system is securely fastened and protected against tipping.
  6. Danger from high voltages: Battery storage systems can generate dangerously high voltages. Avoid contact with exposed terminals or wires.
  7. Observe polarity: Ensure that the terminals are correctly polarized to avoid short circuits and damage.
  8. Suitable cables and fuses: Use only cables, connectors, and fuses recommended by the manufacturer.
  9. Grounding: Ensure that the battery and the entire PV system are properly grounded.
  10. Avoid short circuits: Keep tools, wires, or other conductive objects away from the battery terminals.
  11. Proper use: Use the battery only for its intended purpose and under the specified conditions.
  12. Proper disposal: Batteries contain environmentally hazardous substances and must be recycled or disposed of in accordance with applicable regulations for electronic waste.
  13. Danger from residual charge: Be aware that batteries can retain dangerous residual charges even after being switched off.
  14. No modifications: Unauthorized alterations, modifications, repairs, and opening of the product are prohibited.
