  • Page 7: 2.0  Inverter Applications

    2.0 inverter applications aside from issues of supplying power to higher wattage appliances, inverters must be supplied with a constant source of high current 12vdc from a bank of batteries. At full watt load, the dc input requirements are up to 15 amps at 12vdc. Read and comply with the following a...

  • Page 8: 3.0  Theory of Operation

    3.0 theory of operation maxx sst™ inverters change 12vdc into 110/120vac rms, electrical power. This is accomplished in two steps. (see figure 4). The first stage raises the 12vdc input to 145vdc. The advanced design of the dc-to-dc first stage uses high-frequency conversion techniques that replace ...

  • Page 9: 4.0  Operation

    Note: because of wave-shape differences, using standard digital or analog voltmeters may not correctly read the inverter output voltage. Unless a true rms voltmeter such as a "fluke 87", "fluke 8060a", "beckman 4410" or "triplet 4200" is used, the reading will be from 2 to 20 volts low. 4.0 operatio...

    Inductive loads, such as tvs and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads with the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some tvs, may require two to six times their rated wattage to start up. Because the maxx sst™ inverters have a peak watt power rating, many suc...

    In all marine applications, do not install the inverter below or near the waterline, and keep the inverter away from moisture and water. Use only non-corrosive marine fasteners and fittings for installation. Only con- nect the inverter’s dc input to existing wiring (which must be approved for marine...

    Preliminary installation notes: the inverter 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 w...
