Freedom Inverter/Charger Operation
Faults and Warnings
A fault affects the operation of the unit. A
manual fault requires user intervention by clearing the condition and
then pressing the
CLEAR FAULT RESET
button on the inverter/
charger’s front panel. See the
Xanbus System Control Panel
Owner’s Guide
for information on clearing faults from the SCP.
A warning alerts you to a condition that could possibly affect
operation of the unit.
Operating Limits for Inverter Operation
Temperature
The Freedom SW 230V series of inverter/chargers
will operate at full rated power continuously at 25 °C. See
“Specifications” on page 85 for full details. In higher ambient
temperatures, if the loads draw full power for an extended period of
time, the unit may shut down to protect itself against overheating.
The Freedom SW 230V series of inverter chargers feature a surge
rating of 200% of rated power for five seconds at 25 °C. Operating
the inverter/charger in conditions outside of power and temperature
limits, however, will result in thermal shutdown and/or significantly
decreased performance. In addition, operation in this range is
outside the ratings covered by the regulatory approvals of the
product.
Pass-through AC
The Freedom SW 230V model
inverters provide 230 volts/50 Hz of AC power during invert mode
to operate AC loads of the same rating. When a 60 Hz AC source is
applied to the Freedom SW 230V inverter/charger, the AC that is
passed-through remains at a frequency of 60 Hz.
Difficulty on starting loads
The inverter/charger should be able
to operate all AC loads rated at or below its power rating. Some
high horsepower induction motors used in pumps and other motor-
operated equipment require very high surge currents to start, and the
inverter/charger may have difficulty starting these loads.
