2.0 INVERTER APPLICATIONS Aside from issues of supplying power to higher wattage appliances, invertersmust be supplied with a constant source of high current 12VDC from a bank ofbatteries. At full watt load, the DC input requirements are up to 15 amps at12VDC.Read and comply with the following appli...

Page 8 - THEORY OF OPERATION; FIGURE 4; FIGURE 5; Figure 5– Modified Square Wave and Sine Wave Comparison

3.0 THEORY OF OPERATION MAXX SST™ inverters change 12VDC into 110/120VAC RMS, electrical power.This is accomplished in two steps. (See FIGURE 4 ). The first stage raises the 12VDC input to 145VDC. The advanced design of the DC-to-DC first stage uses high-frequency conversion techniques that replace ...

PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION NOTES:The inverter has four slots in its mounting bracket that allow the unit to be fastenedagainst a bulkhead, floor, wall or other flat surface. Ideally, the mounting surfaceshould be cool to the touch. It is more electrically efficient to use longer AC wiringthan DC wirin...

Page 17 - Do NOT connect this wire to the negative DC input terminal; be too long or the gauge too light.
