  Under-Voltage 

When the input voltage drops below the operating range of the unit (See Section 1.2.1; 
absolute minimum input of 20VDC) the unit senses an under-voltage condition and disables 
the output. The unit will dynamically monitor the input voltage such that if the input returns 
to within the normal operating range, the output will be enabled and allow the unit to 
operate normally. Under-voltage will not activate the fault status output. 

  Over-Temperature 

The TI250 Series Static Inverter incorporates an internal temperature sensing device that 
continually provides monitoring and feedback to the control circuits. When the unit senses 
an internal condition that exceeds maximum temperature ratings, the output is disabled and 
the fault output will indicate. The inverter will continue to remain shut-down in a fault 
condition until the temperature returns to within acceptable limits. This over-temperature 
reset occurs automatically without external intervention required.  
 

  Short Circuit And Over-Current 

The TI250 Series Static Inverter is capable of surviving a short circuit or over-current event 
without permanent damage or effect to long-term reliability. The unit can provide over its 
rated power output up to 375 watts for over 30 minutes (until over-temperature shutdown 
occurs).  
The inverter monitors the AC output on a pulse-by-pulse scenario to determine a short-
circuit or over-current situation. If detected, the output is limited by clipping the AC sine 
waveform, limiting the power output. If the short-circuit or over-current situation continues 
for more than a few seconds, the inverter will turn-off the AC output and indicate a fault on 
the fault output line. 
 

  Ground Fault Protection (-1 only) 

The TI250 Series Static Inverter monitors the AC output for indications of current imbalance 
between the two AC output lines. Should a ground fault be detected, the AC output will be 
disabled and the fault output will indicate. Remove all inverter loads before re-enabling the 
inverter.  
 

  Fault Shutdown and Indication 

The TI250 Series Static Inverter monitors the AC output load, its internal temperature, and 
operation status. Should the load be excessive or the inverter become too hot, the inverter 
will disable the AC output and indicate a fault status on the fault output. If the inverter is in a 
fault state, a LED connected as shown in the wiring diagrams will be lit. 
 
To reset the inverter and clear the fault: 1) Remove all inverter loads before re-enabling the 
inverter, 2)Re-enable the inverter by switching the inverter OFF for four seconds, and then 
back to ON. NOTE: If the inverter is over-temperature it will not re-enable until it has 
cooled. Fault can also be cleared by cycling power to the inverter.
