Battery requirements
For correct operation, the battery voltage should be between 0.92xVnom and 1.23xVnom
where Vnom is 12V, 24V or 48V depending on model, and must be able to supply
sufficient current to your inverter. The following table displays the recommended battery
capacity per inverter type :
Inverter type :
PS200-12
PS200-24
PS200-48
PS300-12
PS350-24
PS450-48
PS600-12
PS800-24
PS800-48
For short time inverter usage the recommended battery capacity can be halved. The inverter shuts down when
the battery voltage is below approx. 0.88xVnom or above 1.3xVnom. In a low or high battery situation the
inverter is generating one beep per second to inform you about a possible inverter shut down (except PS200-
xx models). This acoustical message will start at a battery voltage which is close to the shutdown voltage.
ALL 12V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 12V
BATTERY.
The inverter will not operate from a 6V battery and will be damaged when
connected to battery voltages higher than 24V.
ALL 24V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 24V
BATTERY.
The inverter will not operate from a 12V battery and may be damaged
when connected to battery voltages higher than 31V.
CAUTION
ALL 48V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 48V
BATTERY.
The inverter will not operate from a < 40V battery and may be damaged
when connected to battery voltages higher than 60V.
2.4
Connection to the battery
Unless it is absolutely necessary, TBS advises not to extend the battery wires. Extending
the battery wires may increase system losses and can cause inverter malfunctioning. If it
is unavoidable to extend these wires, use a wire gauge of at least 1.5 times larger than
the ones supplied with the inverter. Maximum recommended battery wire length is approx.
3 meters.
2.4.1 General precautions about working with batteries
1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate
explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinity
of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.
2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
