EPSOLAR IP-1000-24 Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Product Information

The Pure Sine Wave Inverter is an off-grid inverter designed to provide AC power supply. Its AC output is similar to a household power plug. The inverter is available in different models: IP350, IP500, IP1000, IP1500, and IP2000. The model numbers are followed by variations in input voltage and frequency.

Important Safety Instructions

1. Connect the DC input strictly according to the requirements. The inverter has a wide DC input range, but using too high or too low DC input may cause problems or damage the inverter.

2. A reverse polarity connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and damage the unit.

3. Avoid exposing the inverter to humid, flammable, explosive, or dusty environments.

4. Keep the inverter out of children’s reach.

5. It is recommended to connect the inverter input terminal to the battery. Calculate the minimum battery capacity (expressed in AH) by dividing 5 times the rated power of the inverter by the battery voltage.

6. When testing the inverter, use a DC power supply current at least twice greater than that of the inverter’s rated input to ensure normal operation.

7. Ensure proper air ventilation clearance around the inverter of at least 10cm. Keep away from materials or devices that may suffer from high temperatures when the inverter is working.

8. Do not install the inverter in an airtight location and maintain sufficient space around it.

9. Connect the protective grounding of the inverter to the ground using a wire with a cross-section of at least 4mm2.

10. The wire connection between the battery and the inverter should be less than 3m, and the current density should be less than 3.5A/mm2. If the wire length exceeds 3m, reduce the
    current density.

11. Use a fuse or breaker between the battery and the inverter with a value twice the inverter’s rated input current.

12. Do not connect battery chargers or similar devices to the inverter’s input terminal.

13. Avoid placing the inverter close to flooded lead-acid batteries as sparks from the terminals may ignite released hydrogen.

14. Do not connect the AC output terminals to the grid or electrical source as it may damage the inverter.

15. The inverter can only be used singly or in parallel connections. Series connections will damage the inverters.

16. Risk of electric shock; do not touch the output port when the inverter is working. The output is forbidden to connect to other power sources or grids as it may damage the inverter. Turn off the inverter when connecting the load.

17. Do not attempt to repair the faulty inverter by yourself. Contact the manufacturer’s engineer for assistance.

18. The I Power series is suitable for civil applications and not for industrial applications.

Important Safety Instructions

Attentions

• Connect the DC input according to the requirement strictly. The IPower inverter has a relatively wide DC input range. Still, too high or too low DC input may cause problems even destroy the inverter.
• A reverse polarity connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and damage the unit.
• Do not expose the inverter to a humid, flammable, explosive, or dust environment.
• Keep the inverter out of children’s touch.
• It is recommended to connect the inverter input terminal to the battery. Calculate the minimum capacity of the battery(expressed in AH) in the following way: 5times of the rated power of the inverter/battery voltage. If for testing purposes, the user should select DC power supply current at least twice greater than that of the inverter rated input to keep normal inverter operation. Using a DC power supply for testing may cause damage to the inverter.
• When the inverter works continuously, its surface may become very hot; please ensure the air ventilation clearance around the inverter is more than 10cm. Keep away from the material or device which may suffer from high temperature when the inverter is working. Do not install the inverter in an airproof location and keep enough space around the inverter.
• Connect the protective grounding to the ground. The cross-section of the wire should not be less than 4mm2.
• The wire connection between the battery and the inverter should be less than 3m, and the current density should be less than 3.5A/mm2. At this time, the inverter is running at full load. If the wire length exceeds 3m, please reduce the current density.
• A fuse or breaker should be used between the battery and the inverter. The value of the fuse or breaker should be twice the inverter’s rated input current.
• Do not connect the battery charger or similar devices to the inverter’s input terminal.
• Do not put the inverter close to the flooded lead-acid battery because the terminals’ sparkle may ignite the hydrogen released by the battery.
• It’s an off-grid inverter. Do not connect the AC output terminals to the grid or electrical source; otherwise, the inverter may be damaged.
• This inverter can only be used singly in parallel connections. The series connection will damage the inverters.
• Risk of electric shock, don’t touch the output port when the inverter is working. The output is forbidden to connect to other power sources or grids; otherwise, the inverter will be damaged. The inverter must be turned off when connecting the load.
• Please do not attempt to repair the fault inverter by yourself; otherwise, it may lead to a severe accident. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with the manufacture’s engineer.
• IPower series is only suitable for civil applications, not for industrial applications.
