The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay. The accessory AC power system is protected against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground.
