GENERAL INFORMATION
WF-9800 Series Converter-Charger Safety Features

 

Reverse Battery Protection

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

battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800 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 

below). 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.
