SAFETY

To protect your equipment and connected loads against internal electronic
damage the following built-in safety measures are integrated in the
Phoenix inverter.
2.1 S

continuously and the inverter switches off. At most 30 seconds after the
short-circuit has been removed the inverter resumes normal operation.
2.2 S
HORT TERM POWER
The Phoenix inverter can deliver a higher short-term power and a surge
power for 3 seconds (see section 1.2). This level is electronically limited.
When the inverter is overloaded the LED 'overload' will flash. If the
overload is too high the inverter will switch off and the LED 'overload'
will illuminate continuously.
2.3 T
EMPERATURE PROTECTION
The temperature of the electronics is continuously monitored. The inverter
switches off before the temperature reaches an unacceptable high level due
to output short-circuit, overload or excessive ambient temperatures. The
LED 'temp' will flash to indicate that critical temperature is almost
reached. If the internal temperature is too high the LED 'temp' will
illuminate and the inverter switches off. The inverter restarts automatically
once the temperature has dropped to an acceptable level.
12
The inverter's output is protected against short-circuits.
The short-circuit current for the 12V version is 5.5
A (approximately). The 24V version have a short
RMS
circuit current of 11A
In this condition the output voltage approaches 0 V.

three seconds the LED 'overload' will illuminate
