that occurs when the engine starts may trigger a low voltage shutdown.

•AC Overload Shutdown If you connect an AC load that is rated higher than 150 watts or 0.65 amps or that draws excessive surge power, the XPower 150 shuts

down. The PWR light stays on, and the light comes on to indicate that the inverter is overloaded. Note: High startup surge requirements The power, or “wattage” rating of an AC load is the average amount of power it uses. When they are first turned on, many AC loads consume more power than their continuous power rating. TVs, monitors, and electric motors are examples of loads that have high surge requirements at start up. Although the XPower 150 can supply momentary surge power to 300 watts, some loads rated less than 150 watts can exceed its surge capabilities and trigger the AC overload shutdown feature. (See page 12 for troubleshooting procedures.)

•High Battery Voltage Shutdown If a defective battery charging system causes the battery voltage to rise to dangerously high levels, the inverter shuts down

automatically. The PWR light stays on, and the light comes on.

•High Temperature Shutdown If the inverter exceeds its safe operating temperature because of insufficient ventilation or a high-temperature environment, it sounds an alarm and shuts down automatically. The PWR

light stays on, and the light comes on. When the inverter has cooled sufficiently, it restarts automatically.
