Page 7: Inverter Applications
2.0 INVERTER APPLICATIONS Aside from issues of supplying power to higher wattage appliances, inverters must be supplied with a constant source of high current 12VDC from a bank of batteries. At full watt load, the DC input requirements are up to 15 amps at 12VDC. -
Page 8: Theory Of Operation
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 bulky and heavy transformers found in older inverter technology. -
Page 9: Operation
NOTE: Because of wave-shape differences, using standard digital or analog voltmeters may not correctly read the inverter output voltage. Unless a true RMS voltmeter such as a "Fluke 87", "Fluke 8060A", "Beckman 4410" or "Triplet 4200" is used, the reading will be from 2 to 20 volts low. 4.0 OPERATION NOTE: Ensure that the total continuous power consumption of all tools and/or appliances connected to the inverter (and in use) does not exceed the inverter’s... - Page 10 APPLIANCE COMPUTER AND MONITOR PORTABLE VACUUM 8-CUP COFFEE MAKER ELECTRIC TRIMMER 1/2" HAMMER-DRILL RECIPROCATING SAW VACUUM CLEANER 1-1/8" ROTARY HAMMER 1/6 H.P.

Page 11: Determining Battery Size
Inductive loads, such as TVs and stereos, require more current to operate than do resistive loads with the same wattage rating. Induction motors, as well as some TVs, may require two to six times their rated wattage to start up. Because the MAXX SST™... -

DC input to existing wiring (which must be approved for marine use) rated specified gauge, cable and length. (See Page 18) For cable lengths exceeding 6 feet from inverter to batteries, call Vector Manufacturing for additional installation information. The cable, fuse holder, fuse (not sup- plied) can be purchased at an electrical supply company. -

DC wiring, so install the inverter as close as possible to the 12VDC power source. Vector inverters can be operated in any position, however, if it is to be mounted on a wall, mount it horizontally so that indicators, switches, outlets and terminal blocks on the front panel are visible and accessible. - Page 17 21. Ensure the battery has an adequate charge. If voltage is low, the cables may be too long or the gauge too light. 22. If steps 17 and 21 do not correct the problem, contact Vector Technical Support Department toll-free (866) 584-5504, for professional direction.
