�� When installing the inverter, you must evaluate whether any arc danger exists in the operation area. �� The inverter needs to be connected to a battery. The battery's minimum capacity (Ah) is recommended to be five times the current equals the inverter's rated output power divided by the battery voltage.

8. Dangerous operations which would cause electric arc, fire or explosion �� Touch the wire end that hasn't been insulation treated and maybe electriferous. �� Touch the wiring copper row, terminals, or internal modules of the inverter that may be electriferous. ��...
1 Overview IPower-Plus is a new generation of pure sine wave inverter compatible with the lithium battery system. This new inverter adopts surge current suppression technology to effectively prevent the surge current from damaging the lithium battery cells and BMS (Battery Management System). Also, adopting the voltage and current double closed-loop control algorithm brings the inverter a faster response and better resistance to the load impact.
