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 on the GFCI (5d, Fig 6.1) 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 voltage
on the internal Line Side of the GFCI).
The GFCI has self monitoring. If self monitoring test fails, Red LED indication for "End of
Life" (5c, Fig 6.1) will be lighted. GFCI will be required to be replaced. See Section 8.5.2
for details.
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

INFO
The fuses are soldered to the PCB. Hence, these can be removed and replaced
by de-soldering and then re-soldering.
10.8 REVERSE POLARITY AT THE DC INPUT TERMINALS
The Positive of the battery should be connected to the Positive DC input terminal of the
inverter and the Negative of the battery should be connected to the Negative DC input
terminal of the inverter. A reversal of polarity (the Positive of the battery wrongly con-
nected to the Negative DC input terminal of the inverter and the Negative of the bat-
tery wrongly connected to the Positive DC input terminal of the inverter) will blow the
external / internal DC side fuses. If the DC side fuse is blown, the inverter will be dead.
The Green LED marked "POWER" (2, Fig 6.1) and the Green indication light on the GFCI
will be switched OFF and there will be no AC output.
