TROUBLESHOOTING/FAQ:Q. Why does the inverter turn itself off?

A.Iftheinverter’saudiblealarmsoundsandafaultL.E.Dilluminates,thisindicatesthatthereisafaultorerror,andtheinvertermayturnoff.Mostcommonlythiswouldbecausedbyanappliancethatisdrawingtoomuchpower(overloading),lowbatteryvoltageorvoltagedropduetoinsufficientsizecablesorpoorconnections(referto‘Faults&Errors’table,page15).

Q. The Inverter will not run my appliance even though the appliance draws less power (Watts) than the size of the inverter?

A.Electricalappliancescanbedividedintothreegroupsbythewaytheydrawenergy(current)fromtheirpowersupply.Thesegroupsare“Resistive”,“Inductive”and“Capacitive”appliancesoralsocalled“loads”.Someappliancesmaydrawallthreetypesofpower.
