Proton exchange membrane fuel cell

2
At the anode, a
platinum catalyst
causes the
hydrogen to split
into positive
hydrogen ions
(protons) and
negatively charged
electrons.
Hydrogen fuel is channeled through field flow
plates to the anode on one side of the fuel cell,
while oxidant (oxygen or air) is channeled to the
cathode on the other side of the cell.

The polymer electrolyte
membrane (PEM) allows
only the positively
charged ions to pass
through it to the cathode.
The negatively charged
electrons must travel
along an external circuit
to the cathode, creating
an electrical current.

At the cathode, the electrons
and positively charged
hydrogen ions combine with
oxygen to form water, which
flows out of the cell.

FLEXpower™
Pre-Assembled/Wired Power Conversion Systems
Pre-Assembled/Wired Power Conversion Systems
OutBack pre-assembled and pre-wired power systems take the concept of fast, easy installation to a
new level of performance, value and flexibility. Everything needed outside of power sources and backup is pre-assembled onto a single factory tested pre-wired panel. Just install the mounting bracket,
hang the system on a wall, make the necessary connections, and the system is ready-to-go.
The FLEXpower ONE System is ideal for smaller power applications including cabins, chalets, homes,
remote communication sites and back-up power systems, accommodating all essential protective
devices in the smallest system footprint possible and in the most cost-effective manner. FLEXpower
ONE includes a single inverter, AC and DC wiring boxes, a single FLEXmax Charge Controller, MATE,
HUB, FLEXnet DC and Surge Protector. The FLEXpower ONE System is also equipped with battery and
PV array breakers, a PV GFDI breaker, an Input-Output-Bypass Assembly, mounting locations for both
AC GFCI Type B and EU Type F style outlets and additional AC breakers.
