Automatic Cooling Fan

The cooling fan in the WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers is controlled by the              

current  (Amperage)  load  attached  to  the converter,  NOT  by  temperature.  The  on-board               

microprocessor increases fan speed as the total load increases and decreases fan speed as 

the load decreases.

Unlike traditional temperature-controlled fans, the load-controlled fan provides better 

component cooling by avoiding temperature spikes which can lead to premature component 

failure.

 

 

Over-Temperature Protection

If the internal temperature of the converter exceeds a critical point, it will shut down. This 

protects the unit from excessive heat that may damage sensitive components. The unit will 

restart once the temperature inside has dropped. 

Electronic Current Limiting

In the event that the output current exceeds the maximum rating for the WF-9800 Series 

Converter-Charger, the output current will remain constant, but the output voltage will 

begin to drop. If this occurs, the unit will recover once loads are reduced.

Short-Circuit Protection

Should a short circuit occur in the RV, the WF-9800 Series Converter-Charger will drop 

the voltage output to zero volts. If the short-circuit condition is removed and no other 

fault conditions are detected, the converter will resume normal operation. However, short- 

circuit conditions are 

dangerous

, and an RV will require inspection by a qualified service 

technician.
