5. LOCATION
The power inverter must only be installed in a location that is:
Dry
The inverter must be installed in a dry location not subject to moisture especially
rain, spray, or splashing bilge water.
Cool
The inverter should not be exposed to metal fillings or any other form of
contamination.
Ventilated
The ambient air temperature should be between 0-40
℃
(32-104
℉
) for best
performance.
Safe
Ventilation openings on the inverter must not be obstructed. If the inverter is
mounted in a tight fitting compartment, the compartment must be ventilated with
cut-outs to prevent the inverter from overheating.
Close to battery
The inverter is not ignition-protected equipment, so it cannot be installed in areas
containing gasoline tanks or fittings which require ignition –protected equipment.
We recommend that it is safest not to install any kind of electrical equipment
including the inverter in these areas.
Protected from battery gases
The inverter should be installed as close as possible to the batteries, but not in
the same compartment to prevent corrosion. Avoid excessive cable lengths and
use the recommended wire sizes. We recommend that installing with battery
cables sized to achieve less that 3% voltage drop on battery cables under full
load. This will maximize the performance of the inverter.
6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
There are two working stages in the power inverter:
.
The first stage:
it is a DC to DC conversion process that raises the lower
voltage DC at the inverter input to 300volts DC.
.
The second stages:
it is a actual inverter stage that convert the high voltage
DC into 110volts or 220volts AC (rms).The DC to DC convert stage uses modern
high frequency power conversion techniques that have replaced the bulky
transformers found in less technology-advanced models. The inverter stage uses
advanced power MOSFET transistors in a full bridge configuration.
