Things to Check

 

 

 

1. Battery voltage under load.

 

2. Battery connections and DC fuse.

 

3. Circuit breaker on front panel.

No Inverter

4. Thermal condition, high powered loads or

inadequate ventilation may cause overheating.

 

5. Overloads or short circuit, check for excessive

 

loads or bad wiring connections.

 

6. Reset button oin GFCI outlet.

 

 

 

Confirm that your volt meter is a true RMS meter.

 

Standard volt meters will not accurately read the

Low Inverter

waveform of the inverter and may read anywhere

from 90 to 120 volts. If a true RMS meter is not

available, check the brightness of an incandescent

 

light bulb - if it appears normal, the output voltage is

 

properly regulated.

 

 

 

1. Wiring connections - check both the AC and DC

 

connections.

Little or No

2. AC input voltage - low voltage input will result in

3. AC reverse polarity - check for voltage between

 

the incoming white and green wires. If 120 volts is

 

measured, this is reverse polarity.

 

 

 

1. Microwave ovens will normally cook slow on

1. Digital clocks either employ an internal time

 

base or derive their time base from the incoming

 

AC waveform. The frequency is usually well

of times the waveform crosses zero volts. The

circuitry to count the zero crossing events is more

 

 

popular. The longer zero cross time of the

 

inverter's modified sinewave may cause double

 

clocking, resulting in a faster clock.
