from the utility line is tied (bonded) to ground in the AC breaker panel of a
non-mobile dwelling.
Important:
As per the national electrical code, electrical panels in mobile applications must
not have a bonded neutral. If the inverter is supplying power to equipment or a
panel where the neutral and ground are connected (bonded), a ground loop will
occur. If a ground loop occurs on inverters with GFCI outlets, the GFCI outlet will
trip and output power from the inverter will be cut off. If your GFCI repeatedly
needs to be reset, this indicates a ground loop somewhere in your system. In this
case, please have a qualified service technician inspect your electrical system or
equipment.
The negative DC input of the inverter is connected to the
chassis. Do not install the inverter in a positive ground
DC system. A positive ground DC system has the
positive terminal of the battery connected to the chassis
of the vehicle or to the grounding point.
5.0 Operation
To operate the inverter, turn it on using the ON / OFF switch on the front panel.
The inverter is now ready to deliver AC power to your loads. If you are operating
several loads from the inverter, turn on the inverter, and then turn on each load
separately. This will ensure that the inverter does not have to deliver the
starting-currents for all the loads at once.
5.1 Operating On / Off Switch
The ON / OFF switch turns the control circuit in the inverter ON and OFF. It does
not disconnect power from the inverter.
When the switch is in the OFF position, the inverter draws no current from the
battery. When the switch is in the ON position, but with no load, the inverter
draws approximately 0.20 A from the battery.
5.2 Power Status
The power status LED indicates the operating state of the inverter. If the LED is
green, then the inverter is in operational mode and producing approximately 115
V AC. If the LED is red or flashing red, then the inverter is in fault mode and there
is no AC output.
