Introduction
The XPower Inverter 1500 has been designed to give you quality power,
ease of use, and reliability.
Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize yourself with
the main performance features and protection features.
Quality Power
The XPower Inverter 1500 is a quality inverter designed for recreational
vehicle (RV) and truck applications.
The inverter provides up to 1000 watts of continuous power. It is
designed to handle loads such as 600 watt microwaves, TVs, VCRs,
and midsized power tools.
The inverter’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-start
loads, including large TVs, refrigerators, and small freezers.
The unit’s low standby battery demand means you don’t have to worry
about excessive drain on your battery if you leave the inverter on for a
few days. When the inverter is on but no power is being supplied to a
load, the inverter draws less than 300 mA from the battery.
The cooling fan in the inverter is thermally activated and comes on
when the inverter becomes warm. The fan turns off automatically after
the inverter has cooled.
Ease of Use
Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of
use:
The unit is compact, light weight, and easy to install.
Loads can be powered directly from the GFCI-protected AC outlets.
Comprehensive Protection
The XPower Inverter 1500 is equipped with numerous protection features
to guarantee safe and trouble-free operation:
Low battery alarm Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to
11.0 V or lower.
Low battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
the battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts. This feature protects the battery
from being completely discharged.
High battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
the input voltage rises to 15 volts or more.
Overload shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if a short
circuit is detected in the circuitry connected to the inverter’s output, or if
the loads connected to the inverter exceed the inverter’s operating limits.
Over temperature shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
its internal temperature rises above an unacceptable level.
