4.2 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The Power Inverter converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second stage is the actual inverter stage that converts the high voltage DC into 110 volts, 60 Hz AC, Modified Sine Wave (MSW). MSW is a waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC loads, including linear and switch

4.7 INVERTER FUSE REPLACEMENT The following assumes that the Main Unit battery has a charge and that there is no output from the 110 VAC receptacle. If you find that a fuse is blown (open) determine the cause of the short before restarting the power inverter again. Fuse Replacement in Automobile: Most automobile cigarette lighter circuits use fuses at 15 Amps or greater. The inverter can deliver 180 watts with a 20 Amp lighter socket fuse. The inverter must be removed from the Main Unit to gain
