DC POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
The DC power source must provide between 10.5 and 15.5 Volts DC and must be able to supply the necessary
current to operate the load. The power source may be a battery or a well-regulated DC power supply. To
obtain a rough estimate of the current (in Amperes) the power source must deliver, simply divide the power
consumption of the load (in Watts AC) by 10.
Example: if a load is rated at 100 Watts AC, the DC power source must be able to deliver: 100 / 10 = 10A.
The inverter will provide you nominal 115 VAC when powered by a 12 VDC source such as is found in a vehicle
or multiple battery configurations as shown in fig. 2. This manual does not describe all of the possible types of
battery configurations, battery charging configurations and battery isolation configurations.
for normal operation of the inverter, the DC power source must provide between 11.0 and 15.0 VDC and the
required current. This DC power source must be a well-regulated DC power supply or alternator and deep
cycle battery system typically found in vehicles and marine crafts. The DC power source may also be two or
more 12 volt batteries connected in parallel. on larger applications, the power source may be several batteries
connected in parallel as shown in fig. 2.
BATTERIES CHARGING FROM
COMMERCIAL AC-DC, ENGINE,
SOLAR, ETC.
INSTALLATION NOTES
WARNING: Ensure ventilation when using batteries. Batteries may generate flammable gas during
charging or discharging.
The inverter (350 W to 2000 W models) has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastened
against a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surface should be cool to the touch.
It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiring than DC wiring, so install the inverter as close as
possible to the 12 VDC power source.
