Bluetti AC500 Tutorial – Split phase

Build a split phase system

We need two AC500 units together with the P030a fusion box, and communication cable. Such a system will get you 240 volts and up to 7,200 watts. If you add 12 B300s battery modules, you’re creating the toughest bluetti power supply ever. First look at the P030a fusion box. It has a 200 to 240 volt/30 amp L14-30 socket, two 100 to 120 volt/30 amp TT-30 sockets, and four 100 to 120 volt/20 amp sockets. The communication cable is included with the P030a.

We’re going to hook up 4 B300s battery modules in addition to 2 AC500 units. Use this communication cable to wire the AC500 units together. Note here, keep the notch up, plug in, and twist to lock. Repeat this step with the other AC500. Now, we’re ready to connect the P030a.

Insert 2 plugs into the 30A TT-30 sockets, and set both AC500 to split phase mode. Tap “Settings”, next, and change the single phase to a split phase. Choose one as the master unit, and repeat to set split phase on the other ac500. Make it our slave unit. The hint is that two masters or two slaves are not allowed in a split-phase system. Activate the system by enabling the AC output on the master unit. The LED indicators light up when we’ve completed the system successfully.

Now, it’s time to plug in your 240 volts device with the p030a fusion box. All AC outlets in the system will provide a total of 7,200 watts. In other words, you can use the remaining outlets if your device is rated below that.

For example, we’ve prepared the split-phase AC charging cable to charge the whole system. Plug in and twist to lock. Both AC500s are connected to the wall outlets. Either of the AC500s can also be recharged with solar power.
