There are two working stages in the power inverter: DC Cable with ring

◆ The first stage: A DC to DC conversion process that raises the lower voltage DC at the inverter
input to 300volts DC. 12
Fuse
◆ The second stages: An inversion stage that converts the high voltage DC into 110volts or
230volts AC (rms). DC to DC conversion stage uses modern high frequency power conversion
techniques that have replaced the bulky transformers found in less technologically advanced 8 1 3 4 5 9

models. The inverter stage uses advanced power MOSFET transistors in a full bridge
configuration.

2. Make sure that the television antenna provides an adequate (“snow-free”) signal and that
you are using good quality cable between the antenna and the television.
◆ The Calculation of the Battery’
s Back Up Time
3. Keep the cables between the battery and the inverter as short as possible, and twist them The battery's back up depends on the battery capacity (Ah) and your appliances power (Watt)
together with two to three twists per foot.( this minimizes radiated interference from the cables.) The method to calculate the backup time:
4. Move the television as far away from the inverter as possible. Battery capacity (Ah) * Input voltage (Volt)/Loads power (Watt)
For example:
5. Do not operate high power loads with the inverter which the television is on.
Battery capacity = 150Ah
Input voltage = 12Volt
Loading power = 600Watt
So:
(150Ah*12V)/600Watt=3 Hours
8. Choose the Battery Note: this calculation of back-up time produces a theoretical value, and doesn't take into

than this value, particularly for larger loads, old and partially discharged batteries.

advisable to recharge before the inverter low voltage shutdown point is reached. A series-parallel configuration increases both voltage (to match the inverter’s DC requirements)
