10.4 HIGH DC INPUT VOLTAGE SHUTDOWN
If the voltage at the DC input terminals rises to 16.5V or higher for PST-1500-12 / PST-
2000-12 or, to 33V or higher for PST-1500-24 / PST-2000-24, the AC output voltage will be
shut down temporarily. Buzzer alarm will be sounded. The Green LED marked "POWER"
(2, Fig 6.1) will remain lighted. The Green indicator light on the GFCI will be OFF. The
unit will be reset automatically when the voltage drops down to < 16.5V for PST-1500-12
/ PST-2000-12 or to 33V for PST-1500-24 / PST-2000-24.
10.5 OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUT DOWN
In case of failure of the cooling fans or in the case of inadequate heat removal due to
higher ambient temperatures / insufficient air exchange, the temperature inside the unit
will increase. The temperature of a critical hot spot inside the inverter is monitored, and
at 90°C ± 5°C, the AC output of the inverter is shut down temporarily. Buzzer alarm will
be sounded. The Green LED marked "POWER" (2, Fig 6.1) will remain lighted. The Green
indication light on the GFCI will be OFF.
The unit will automatically reset after the hot spot has cooled down to 65°C ± 5°C.
10.6 GROUND FAULT / LEAKAGE PROTECTION
AC Output is supplied through NEMA5-20R GFCI Duplex Receptacle (5, Fig 6.1) and also
through hardwiring (13, Fig 6.1). The GFCI will trip if there is 5 to 6 mA leakage / Ground
fault on the load side or, if Neutral and Ground are bonded on the load side. When
tripped, the Green LED indication will be switched OFF. Remove the cause of tripping.
Switch ON the inverter if OFF and then, press the "Reset Button" on the GFCI to reset
(GFCI will not reset if the inverter is OFF and there is no AC volatge on the internal Line
Side of the GFCI).
10.7 INTERNAL DC SIDE FUSES
The following DC side fuses have been provided for internal protection of the DC input
side. The fuses are 32V, Automotive Type Blade Fuses, Type "ATO" by Littel Fuse or
equivalent:
PST-1500-12: 5 pieces of 40A in parallel = 200A total
PST-1500-24: 5 pieces of 20A in parallel = 100A total
PST-2000-12: 6 pieces of 40A in parallel = 240A total
PST-2000-24: 6 pieces of 20A in parallel = 120A total
NOTE: The fuses are soldered to the PCB. Hence, these can be removed and replaced by
de-soldering and then re-soldering.
