The power inverter will also shut down if the input voltage exceeds 15 V. This
protects the inverter against excessive input voltage. Although the power inverter
incorporates protection against over voltage, it may still be damaged if the input voltage
is allowed to exceed 20 V.
7. Troubleshooting
7.1 Common problems
a) Buzz in audio systems
Some inexpensive stereo systems will emit a buzzing noise from their loud speakers
when operated from the power inverter. This is because the power supply in the
device does not adequately filter the modified sine wave produced by the power
inverter. The only solution is to use a sound system that incorporates a higher quality
power supply.
b) Television interference
Operation of the power inverter can interfere with television reception on some
channels. If this situation occurs, the following steps may help to alleviate the
problem.
• Do not operate high power loads with the power inverter while watching
television.
• Make sure that the antenna feeding your television provides an adequate
(“snow free”) signal and that you are using good quality cable between the
antenna and the television.
• Move the television as far away from the power inverter as possible.
• Keep the cables between the battery and the power inverter as short as
possible and twist them together with about 2 to 3 twists per foot. This
minimizes radiated interference from the cables.
