GENERAL INFORMATION
WF-9800LiS Series Converter-Charger Safety Features

 

Reverse Battery Protection

The WF-9800LiS Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed. 

A battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800LiS Series Converter-Chargers operation. 

When a battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter 

circuitry. The fuses are located on the rear panel of the enclosure near the AC power cord (refer 

to Figure 1 on the next page). This feature prevents permanent damage to the converter from a 

battery connected into the circuit backwards. In addition to protecting the converter-charger, the 

reverse polarity fuses are the main connection between the converter-charger and the DC fuse 

board of a distribution center.
