The Inverter - Volkswagen Passat 2006 Service Training

Electrical system

The inverter

An optional 230 V/50 Hz European socket can be
ordered for the Passat 2006.
An inverter, which is firmly connected to the socket, is
installed in the vehicle to generate the alternating
voltage. This unit is located in the rear centre console
instead of the cup holder.
The 230 V socket is designed without an earthing
contact and can be operated at a maximum,
continuous output of 150 W. As the temporary (2 min)
peakoutput, approx. 300 W can be drawn off.
Voltage can only be drawn from the socket when the
engine is running (terminal 61). Besides the engine
speed signal line, a voltage supply (terminal 30) and
a ground connection (terminal 31) link the inverter to
the vehicle electrical system.. Galvanic separation
from the alternating voltage level has been
implemented.
No repairs may be carried out on 230V systems. If the socket or the inverter is defective,
the entire assembly must therefore be exchanged.
