INSTALLATION / ENVIRONMENTS
POWER SOURCE REQUIREMENTS
The power source must provide between 10.5 and 14.5 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: lf a load is rated at 100 watts AC, the power source must be able to deliver: 100 /
10=10A
The inverter will provide you with up to 1.5/2.0/3.0 KVA of continuous, electrical
power (3.0/4.0/6.0 KVA peak) at 115 VAC when powered by a 12.5 VDC source
such as is found in a vehicle or multiple battery configurations as shown in
FIGURE 5. This manual does not describe all of the possible types of battery
configurations, battery charging configurations and battery isolation
configurations.
To properly operate the inverter the DC power source must provide between
11.0 and 14.5 VDC and nominally at 300 Amps. This DC power source must be
a well-regulated DC power supply as typically found in vehicular and deep-cycle
marine batteries. The DC power source may also be two 12 volt batteries
connected in parallel. On larger applications the power source may be several
batteries connected in parallel as shown on FIGURE 5.
