8.4.5 DC/AC converter
Description
- The inverter converts the DC voltage of the service battery bank to AC voltage. The circuit between the inverter and the batteries is protected by a fuse or a circuit-breaker.
- The inverter is earthed by an earthing plate located under the hull (see Chapter: E
ARTHING PLATES
).
- The voltage measurement delivered at the converter output is visible on the touch screen.
Operation
Power supply for the 220V AC electric sockets in the cabins:
Once there is sufficient nominal voltage coming from the AC switch panel, AC power is supplied by the onshore socket or by the generator.
If there is insufficient nominal voltage coming from the AC switch panel, the AC power supply automatically switches over to the inverter. In this way, the power for
the 220V sockets in the cabins can be supplied by the inverter, itself supplied by the service battery bank. Be careful to disconnect the inverter circuit to prevent the
AC power supply automatically switching over and to prevent accidental discharge of the service battery bank. This can be done by:
- setting the inverter's circuit-breaker to the OFF position; or,
- setting the switch located on the inverter to the OFF position.
Simply cutting the AC power supply at the switch panel does not cut the AC power supply to the cabins: it is also necessary to disconnect the DC supply.
Operation
- The inverter is fully automatic.
- A remote control is located near the boat's switch panel. To start the converter put the switch on the invertor in the "REMOTE" position then put the switch located on the
remote control in the "ON" position.
- If the switch on the inverter is in the "OFF" position, you cannot use the remote control to start it.
