1. INTRODUCTION

3. How an Inverter/Charger Works

An inverter takes direct current (DC) from your batteries and turns it into alternating

current (AC), exactly like you use at home. It also takes alternating current when your motor coach is

connected to shore power and transforms it into direct current to recharge your batteries.

There are two modes of operation associated with an inverter/charger: Inverter Mode:

Direct current (DC) from the vehicle’s batteries is transformed into alternating

current (AC) for use with you household electrical appliances.

Charger Mode:

Alternating current (AC) is taken directly from shore power (or other AC sources) and

passed directly to your household appliances. At the same time, the incoming AC is also converted

to DC to recharge the vehicle’s batteries.

4. Appliances and Run Time

The ME Series inverter/charger can power a wide range of household appliances

including small motors, hair dryers, clocks and other electrical devices. As with any

appliance using batteries for power, there is a certain length of time that it can run - this is called “run

time.” Actual run time depends on several variables including the size and the type of

appliance, the type of batteries installed in your recreational vehicle, as well as the battery’s

capacity and age. Other factors such as the battery’s state of charge and temperature can also affect the

length of time your appliances can run.

Appliances such as TVs, VCRs, stereos, computers, coffee pots, incandescent lights

and toasters can all be successfully powered by your inverter. Larger electrical appliances,

however, such as stoves, water heaters, etc., can quickly drain your batteries and are not recommended for

this application.

All electrical appliances are rated by the amount of power they consume. The rating is printed on

the product’s nameplate label, usually located on its chassis near the AC power cord. Even

though it is difficult to calculate exactly how long an inverter will run a particular appliance, the

best advice is trial and error. Your ME Series inverter has a built- in safeguard that

automatically protects your batteries from over discharge.

NOTE: For optimum performance, a minimum battery bank of 200 AHr is

recommended.
