NOTES FOR TABLE 2.1
1. Multiply the Maximum Continuous Running Power Rating (Active Power Rating in
Watts) of the appliance / device by the recommended Sizing f
actor to arrive at the
Maximum Continuous Running Power Rating of the inverter.
2. f or photographic strobe / unit, the Surge Power Rating of the inverter should be
> 4 times the Watt Sec rating of photographic strobe / unit.
SECTION 3 | Limiting Electro-Magnetic
Interference (EMI)
3.1 EMI COMPLIANCE
These inverters contain internal switching devices that generate conducted and radiated
electromagnetic interference (EMI). The EMI is unintentional and cannot be entirely
eliminated. The magnitude of EMI is, however, limited by circuit design to acceptable
levels. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in business / commercial / industrial
environments . These inverters can conduct and radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
3.2 REDUCING EMI THROUGH PROPER INSTALLATION
The effects of EMI will also depend upon a number of factors external to the inverter
like proximity of the inverter to the EMI receptors, types and quality of connecting wires
and cables etc. EMI due to factors external to the inverter may be reduced as follows:
- E
the vehicle
- Locate the inverter as far away from the EMI receptors like radio, audio and video
devices as possible
- Keep the DC side wires between the battery and the inverter as short as possible.
- Do No T keep the battery wires far apart. Keep them taped together to reduce their
inductance and induced voltages. This reduces ripple in the battery wires and im-
- Shield the DC side wires with metal sheathing / copper foil / braiding:
- - Use coaxial shielded cable for all antenna inputs (instead of 300 ohm twin leads)
- Use high quality shielded cables to attach audio and video devices to one another
- Limit operation of other high power loads when operating audio / video equipment
