Inverter System Protection Function
| Item | Condition | LED Status |
|---|---|---|
| Undervoltage protection | Shuts down for safety at voltages lower than 11.3 V ± 0.3 V. | LED flickering |
| Resumes operation at 12.2 V ± 0.3 V. | LED lighting | |
| Overvoltage protection | Shuts down for safety at voltages higher than 15.5 V ± 0.3 V. | LED flickering |
| Resumes operation below 15.5 V ± 0.3 V. | LED lighting | |
| Overheat protection | Shuts down for safety if temperatures exceed 105°C ± 10°C. | LED flickering |
| Resumes operation at 95°C ± 10°C. | LED lighting | |
| Overcurrent protection | Turns OFF when overcurrent above a set point is detected. | |
| The inverter stops for 20 seconds before it restarts. | LED flickering (20 seconds) | |
| Turns OFF when overcurrent is detected 3 times. (Turn the AC inverter switch ON again to turn on the inverter.) | LED OFF | |
| Short circuit protection | The inverter shuts down for safety if there is a short circuit between the AC1 and AC2 outputs during operation. | LED OFF |
| Undervoltage/overvoltage shutdown protection | Shuts down at voltages lower than 10.7 V ± 0.3 V. | LED OFF |
| Shuts down at voltages lower than 16.5 V ± 0.3 V. | LED OFF |
WARNING:
DO NOT touch or insert any foreign substance into the AC inverter. Be aware of the potential risk of electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
- Only use the AC inverter when the engine is running. Always disconnect the inverter when not in use.
- Using the AC inverter when the engine is off or leaving an electric device plugged in for a long time may drain the battery of the vehicle.
- DO NOT use any electric devices that consume more than 115V (150W) of power.
- Some electric devices may not operate properly even though they consume less power than rated capacity of inverter provided by the vehicle.
- Household appliances that require high voltage at initial operation (e.g. compressor operated refrigerator, electrically powered tools, etc.)
- Measuring equipment used to process accurate data (e.g. medical equipment, precision measuring equipment, etc.)
- Equipment that requires stable power supply (e.g. electric blanket/mattress, touch sensor lighting, etc.)
- Connecting an electrical device that generates excessive levels of electromagnetic noise to the AC inverter may cause abnormal sounds in the audio equipment or a malfunction in the vehicle's electronic devices.
- Connecting a faulty electronic device to the AC inverter may damage the inverter or the electric system of the vehicle.
