Limiting Power Draw from 12V Power outlet in Vehicles:
- 12V power outlet in a vehicle is normally fused at around 15A. This limits the power
draw from this outlet to around 150W.
- When powering PST-300 (rated at 300W) from the 12V power outlet in a vehicle,
please ensure the AC load is limited to < 150W. Power draw > 150W will blow the 15A
fuse in the vehicle.
Reducing RF interference
Please comply with recommendations given in Section 3 on page 11 - "Limiting Electro-
magnetic Interference".

WARninG! Preventing Paralleling of the Ac output
1. The AC output of the inverter cannot be synchronized with another AC
source and hence, it is not suitable for paralleling. The AC output of the in-
verter should never be connected directly to an electrical breaker panel / load
center which is also fed from the utility power/ generator. Such a connection
will result in parallel operation and AC power from the utility / generator will
be fed back into the inverter which will instantly damage the output section
of the inverter and may also pose a fire and safety hazard. If an electrical
breaker panel / load center is being fed from the utility power / generator
and the inverter is required to feed this panel as backup power source, the
AC power from the utility power/ generator and the inverter should first be
fed to a manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch and the output
of the manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch should be con-
nected to the electrical breaker panel / load center.
2. To prevent possibility of paralleling and severe damage to the inverter, never
use a simple jumper cable with a male plug on both ends to connect the AC
output of the inverter to a handy wall receptacle in the home / RV.
Ac output connection through Ground Fault circuit interrupter (GFci)
An un-intentional electric path between a source of current and a grounded surface
is referred to as a "Ground fault". Ground faults occur when current is leaking some-
where. In effect, electricity is escaping to the ground. How it leaks is very important. If
your body provides a path to the ground for this leakage (dry human body has a low
resistance of only around 1 K ohm), you could be injured, burned, severely shocked
