Operating Limits; Input Voltage/Automatic Shutdown - Cobra CPI 150 Operating Instructions Manual

Power Output
AC Output:
Your CPI 150 will deliver
150 watts continuously. It
can deliver 180 watts for
about 30 minutes, after
which it must cool for
about 15 minutes before
it can resume operation at
150 watts. (NOTE: the
wattage rating applies to
resistive loads.)
USB Output:
5 Volt continuous output.
Input Voltage
Your CPI 150 will operate
from input voltage ranging
from 10 to 15 volts.
Optimum performance occurs
when the voltage is between
12 and 14 volts.
INPUT VOLTAGE/AUTO SHUTDOWN

OPERATING LIMITS

The inverter will automatically
shut down if the input
voltage drops below 10.0 ±
0.3 volts. This protects the
battery from being over-
discharged. The inverter will
restart when the input voltage
exceeds 12.0 ± 0.3 volts.
The inverter will also shut down
if the input voltage increases
to 15.5 ± 0.5 volts. This helps
protect the unit from damage
due to excessive input voltage.
Although the inverter is
protected in this way, it may
still be damaged should the
input voltage exceed 16 volts.
Automatic Shutdown
The unit will automatically go
into thermal shutdown if it
becomes overheated due to
excessive input voltage, poor
circulation or high ambient
temperature.
