SECTION 8 |
When using the inverter in a mobile RV, connect 10 mm
copper wire from the above equipment grounding lug to the appropriate ground bus of
the RV (usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus). The connections must
be tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
8.7 INTERNAL NEUTRAL TO CHASSIS GROUND BOND
The Neutral slots of the 2 NEMA5-15R outlets (1, Fig 6.1) are internally bonded to the
metal chassis of the inverter for protection against Ground Fault.
In case of mobile applications where it is not possible to ground the metal chassis of
the inverter, please ensure that the AC loads are connected through a 2-pole, 3 Wire
Grounding type of cord with a NEMA5-15P, 3-Pin Plug. This will provide protection
against electric shock in case of Ground Fault in the load (Line voltage leaking to the
metal chassis of the load). Fault current will flow through the Grounding Conductor to
the chassis of the inverter and onward to the Neutral of the inverter (through internal
Neutral to the chassis Ground bond) and will shut down the inverter due to overload /
short circuit protection of the inverter.
8.8 REDUCING ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
Please comply with recommendations given in Section 3.2.
SECTION 9 |
9.1 SWITCHING THE INVERTER ON/OFF
Before switching on the inverter, check that all the AC loads have been switched off. The
ON/OFF switch (3, Fig 6.1) on the front panel of the inverter is used to switch ON and
switch OFF the inverter. This switch operates a low power control circuitry, which in turn
controls all the high power circuitry.
!
CAUTION!
Please note that the ON/OFF switch is not switching the high power battery
input circuit. Parts of the DC side circuit will still be alive even when the switch
is in the OFF position. Hence, disconnect the DC and AC sides before working
on any circuits connected to the inverter.
When the inverter is switched ON, the Status LED (2, Fig. 6.1) will turn GREEN. GREEN
LED indicates that the inverter is operating normally. Under normal operating condi-
tions, AC output voltage will now be available at the AC Outlets (1, Fig 6.1). The Green
indicator light on the GFCI will be lighted.
