What to do if my Xantrex XPower 5000 Inverter has no AC output and no DC input voltage indication?
First, ensure the Xantrex Inverter is turned on. Next, verify that the DC cables are properly connected from the battery to the inverter. Finally, check if the battery disconnect switch or breaker is closed.
Why is the internal over temperature warning alarm on my Xantrex XPower 5000?
The internal over temperature warning alarm may be triggered on your Xantrex Inverter because the ventilation openings are obstructed, the ambient temperature is too high, or the load applied is above the continuous operation limit. To resolve this, improve ventilation by ensuring the inverter’s ventilation openings are not obstructed, reduce the ambient temperature, and reduce the load if continuous operation is required.
What to do if my Xantrex Inverter has no AC output voltage but shows DC input voltage?
If your Xantrex Inverter shows DC input voltage but has no AC output, it could be due to several reasons. The inverter fuse may be open, requiring you to return the inverter as the fuses are not user-replaceable. Alternatively, the GFCI outlet might have tripped; if AC voltage is present on one AC outlet but not on the other, disconnect all loads and push the Reset button on the GFCI outlet. Reconnect the load to the receptacle that was tripped, and if it trips again, the load or its wiring is faulty and must be serviced by qualified service personnel. It is also possible that the inverter has been damaged and needs to be returned.
Why is the output overload warning alarm on my Xantrex Inverter?
The output overload warning alarm on your Xantrex Inverter indicates that the load applied exceeds the continuous operation limit. If continuous operation is required, reduce the load.
What causes the Xantrex XPower 5000 Inverter’s DC terminal to overheat and shut down?
The Xantrex Inverter’s DC terminal may overheat and shut down due to a loose connection between the inverter’s DC terminal and the DC input battery cable, or if the DC input battery cable is undersized. To resolve this, tighten the connection at the terminal to a torque of 18–20 ft-lbs (24–27 Nm) and use the recommended size of battery cables.
Why is my Xantrex XPower 5000 Inverter in overvoltage shutdown?
Your Xantrex Inverter may be in overvoltage shutdown because of high input voltage. Ensure the inverter is connected to a 12 V battery and check the voltage regulation of the charging system.
What to do if the Xantrex XPower 5000 Inverter's Input Under Voltage Warning Alarm is on?
If the Xantrex Inverter's Input Under Voltage Warning Alarm is on, it may be due to poor battery condition or poor DC wiring. You should charge the battery, or install a new battery. Also, use proper cable size and lengths and make solid connections.
