Testing the GFCI
Perform the following GFCI Test:
1. Turn the inverter on.
2. Plug a simple appliance, such as a lamp, in the GFCI outlet. Turn the
lamp on.
3. Press the TEST button. Observe a clicking sound. The lamp turns off.
4. Press the RESET button all the way to the bottom until the button locks
into position. The lamp turns back on.
Operating Limits
Power Output
The XPower Inverter 3000 can deliver up to 2500 W continuous and up to
3000 W for five minutes.
Input Voltage
The allowable inverter input (battery) voltage ranges are shown in the
following table:
Important:
Perform this GFCI test once a month to ensure continued
functionality of the GFCI.
Operating Condition Voltage Range Comment
Normal 10.5–15 V n/a
Optimum
Performance
12.0–13.0 V n/a
Low Voltage Alarm 11.0 V or less The audible low battery
alarmsounds.
Low Voltage
Shutdown
less than 10.5 V
The inverter shuts down to protect the
battery from being over-discharged.
High Voltage
Shutdown
15 V or more The inverter shuts down to protect
itself from excessive input voltage.
Note: Although the inverter
incorporates over-voltage protection,
it can still be damaged if input
voltage exceeds 16 V.
