This may occur due to highly inductive loads such as any appliance with a motor
causing a sudden peak load on the inverter.
If this occurs, switch "OFF" the appliance and the inverter. After 5 seconds turn the
inverter "ON" and the inverter will provide power again. Turn the appliance "ON", if the
inverter shuts down more than 3 times, it is likely that the appliance is drawing more load
than the inverter can supply, and a larger inverter would be recommended. Note if the
load is a motor ensure that it is started under no-load conditions or try fitting a soft-
start device to the motor (or purchase an appliance with one already fitted).
•
High temperature - If the inverter has reached a high temperature, this feature will
sound an alarm and then turn the inverter off. This may occur from continuously
running high loads for long periods, due to high ambient temperatures or due to poor
ventilation. If this occurs, turn the inverter off and allow it to cool before resuming
operation. If possible reduce the load on the inverter and improve ventilation.
DETERMINING SUITABLE LOADS/APPLIANCES:
The inverter is fitted with 2 approved AS/NZS Australian socket outlets. Both sockets can
be used, as long as the combined load (Watts required to run appliance) does not exceed
the inverter's continuous rating and the load connected to one socket does not exceed
2400 Watts (10Amps). All appliances have a rating plate that shows the amount of power
(Watts) used or the current (Amps) drawn under normal conditions.
The following table shows the maximum combined AC Watts or AC Amps which can
be run by the inverter for less than 30 minutes continuous.

Some appliances that use an electric motor or transformer may draw 2 to 6 times their
rating when first turned on. These are called inductive loads and are the most difficult for
the inverter to run. For these appliances it is often a matter of trial and error to see what
size inverter will run them, if in doubt always use a larger inverter using the above table
as a guide.
