Amps Display:
This display indicates actual DC amperes of current being drawn from the battery bank. Note
that the AMPS display indicates a range of 120 to 600 amps. Current less than 120 amps is not
displayed. Note that for a 120 Amp reading the inverter should be powering 1,200 watts of AC
load.
AC Outlets
Each outlet will supply 15 amps, 115V AC maximum for powering appliances. Greater than
1,650 watts continuous power from an outlet may cause damage to the inverter and cause
possible injury.
High Output AC Terminals
There are three insulated terminals on the front panel of the inverter. These terminals are for
connecting 115 volt AC devices that require more than 15 amps to operate. Other uses are for
connection to distributed wiring that has multiple AC outlets. Any wiring that is directly connected
must be 10 gauge or larger. Facing the front panel, the terminals are:
Top
Middle
Bottom
Live (Black)
Neutral (White)
Ground (Green)
NEUTRAL and GROUND are bonded inside the inverter to comply with the National Electric
Code (NEC) requirement that any AC source must have a neutral to ground connection.
Remote ON/OFF Switch Connection
A supplied cable and Remote Switch assembly provides a convenient remote
On/Off feature.
POWER INVERTER OUTPUT WAVEFORM
This inverter’s AC output is a modified sine wave (MSW) 115 volts AC. The comparison of
modified sine wave and household AC is shown in the figure below.
Sine Wave
This modified sine wave has a root mean square (RMS) voltage of 115 volts. Most ordinary AC
voltmeters are calibrated to read “average” voltage and assume that the AC waveform will be a
pure sine wave. These meters will not correctly read MSW voltage, and will display about 20 to
30 volts too low. Any multi-meter identified as “TRUE RMS” will accurately read MSW correctly.
