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.
