Overload Protection

Operation

Overload Protection

In the event of an overload (> 400 W) or overheating, the Powerpack Solar 400 automatically sounds an alarm, displays an error code, and shuts down.

When this happens, remove the load immediately. The unit resets automatically after a few seconds.

High Surge Appliances

The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and appliances with motors consume much more power than their average rating when they are first switched on.

Although Powerpack Solar 400 can supply momentary surge power up to 600 W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the Powerpack Solar 400 and trigger the inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit.

Important: Do not use sump pumps, coffee makers, hair dryers, flat irons, or electric grills with the Powerpack Solar 400.

Trouble Appliances

CAUTION

The output of the Powerpack Solar 400 inverter is non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter’s modified sine wave (non-sinusoidal) output.

Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter:

Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
