PowerDrive PD100D - Self Protection Features; Inverter Protection Mechanisms

Type Possible Cause
How do you know
if the protection is
available
Solution Remarks
Current Overload
If the input exceeds
the rated output
power 10 to 15%.
Fault indicator
LED will light up
and the inverter
will automatically
shut off.
Remove all appli-
ances and turn off
the unit by the ON/
OFF switch. Then
turn on the unit
again. Use smaller
power consump-
tion appliances.
Input Low Voltage
Input voltage lower
than 10.5V.
Remove all appli-
ances and turn
off the unit by the
ON/OFF switch.
Recharge the
battery.
Input High Voltage
Input voltage
higher
than 10.5V.
Remove all appli-
ances and turn off
the unit by the ON/
OFF switch. Check
the battery voltage,
make sure it is
within 11-15V.
Although the invert-
er has protection
against over load,
it may still dam-
age the inverter if
the input voltage
exceeds 16V.
Over Temperature
The PCB
temperature
is around 230°F.
Remove all appli-
ances and turn off
the unit by the ON/
OFF switch. Cool
down for 15 min-
utes before turning
on again.
Please ensure
there
is ventilation in the
surrounding
environments.
