The inverter front “STATUS” LED will be Green while the inverter is on. The
AC power produced by the inverter comes from the energy stored in the
battery bank through a sophisticated electronic inversion process. A
transformer, a Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effe
ct Transistors (MOSFET), a filter
capacitor and microprocessor control are used to generate clean AC power.
The inverter will operate at DC input voltages ranging from 10.5 to 16 volts.
Above 16 volts the inverter may stop operating due to input voltage being out of
range. The inverter can tolerate up to 24V DC for 5 minutes. Durations longer
than 5 minutes will result in a shut down. Input voltages above 24V DC will result
in an immediate shutdown. The inverter will restart when the input voltage drops
below 16V DC. When the input voltage drops to 10.5/11.7 volts, the inverter will
stop operating due to a low battery condition. When the lead acid battery bank
voltage drops to 10.5 volts, the battery is fully discharged.
Note: The signal output waveform produced by the inverter when in
“inverter mode” is pure sinusoidal. It has a total harmonic distortion of less
than 5% at nominal input.
