RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can be a problem for owners of inverters. RFI in a domestic
situation may produce noise or interference on a radio or TV receiver.
Considerable development time has resulted in a reduction of the RFI generated by the inverter to a
level that complies with C-tick requirements. Compliance to this standard means RFI is low, but how
well the inverter performs in a particular installation can vary. Below are some suggestions to help
reduce the effects of RFI in your installation;
•
It is recommended that the power system, including the inverter, be housed at least 15 metres
from the home.
•
Ensure an earth stake is placed as close to the inverter as possible and connected to the inverter
via a short length of wire. See the “INSTALLATION” section of this manual for wiring.
•
Avoid running DC cables into the home, if at all possible. If this cannot be avoided, run DC
and AC in separate conduits separated by as much distance as practicable. All DC wiring
cables should be kept together and be as short as possible.
•
If your inverter is to be installed in a Mobile Home or similar, try to keep your inverter at least
one metre away from your radio or audio equipment. The further the better.
