System Description: System: Fail-Safe
When a malfunction listed below occurs, the inverter unit turns OFF the AC 120V outlet main switch indicator and stops the output.
| Malfunction item | Fail-safe condition | Fail-safe cancellation condition |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter unit power supply voltage is greater than 15V | When inverter unit input voltage rises above 15V, the output will be suspended to protect the inverter unit. | After the inverter unit power supply voltage drops below 15V, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
| Inverter unit power supply voltage is less than 11.5V for 2 seconds or more | When inverter unit input voltage is lowered, the output will be suspended to protect the battery from running out. | After the inverter unit power supply voltage rises above 11.5V, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
| Inverter unit power supply voltage is less than 9V | ||
| Inverter unit AC 120V output voltage is greater than 170V | When inverter unit AC 120V output voltage is greater than 170V, the output will be suspended. | After the inverter unit AC 120V output voltage drops below 170V, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
| Inverter unit input current is greater than 13.3A | When inverter unit input current rises above 13.3A, the output will be suspended to prevent over current (e.g., connecting an electric appliance exceeding rated output). | After the inverter unit input current drops below 13.3A, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
| Inverter unit is overheated | When the inverter unit is overheated [thermistor temperature above 100°C (212°F)], the output will be suspended to protect the inverter unit. | After the inverter unit temperature is lowered, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
| Inverter unit output signal (AC 120V output signal) is shorted | When inverter unit output signal is shorted, the output will be suspended. | After recovering from inverter unit output signal short, the AC 120V outlet main switch ON → OFF → ON operation allows normal return. |
