1. The importance of RV inverter
RV travel by RV battery power or solar panels and so on these generated current unified for DC only use with the attached battery electrical equipment, for other machines need to use AC power, inverter is the conversion of DC power to AC power tools.
2. How to install the RV inverter?
(1) Test the compatibility of the installation inverter
Before installing the inverter to check the inverter specifications, the inverter should comply with the battery voltage is often 12 volts, the inverter power should be based on the use of electrical appliances to choose to electrical appliances more than 2 times the power as a reference.
(2) Selection of inverter installation location
Inverter installation location is very important to the safety and use, ① inverter location should first choose a relatively ventilated location inverter work will heat inverter fan operation needs to be air flow place, ② dry, inverter through the high-voltage current wet environment will bring leakage and other safety issues ③ convenient maintenance and view, the location of the inverter needs to be separate from the environment, but need to be convenient for inspection and maintenance, in order to quickly find out when problems occur in order to quickly find the problem when it occurs.
(3) Select the appropriate wire
The inverter connects the entire battery pack is divided into DC and AC, the wire also needs to consider the current strength to take into account the work of multiple appliances is to meet the current delivery.
(4) RV inverter grounding
In order to consider the safety of the inverter line should be connected to the grounding chassis of the RV, the occurrence of electrocution can ensure that the current flows into the ground.
(5) Connect the blocker and meter.
Blocker and meter connection in order to prevent short-circuit accidents anyway, cut off the circuit current in a timely manner, the meter is in order to observe the entire vehicle circuit including current and voltage, as well as the installation of solar panels to generate power, etc. You can make planning and inspection of the RV as a whole.
(6) connected to the RV system test
And finally the battery inverter line connected to the RV’s own circuit system, cannot be used directly to observe the meter circuit whether abnormalities occur, the RV can also charge the battery pack in case of emergency.
3. RV inverter installation you need to take into account.
(1) the type of inverter,
① if you can not ensure that your RV will not be charging electronic tools you must choose a pure sine wave inverter, pure sine wave inverter converted AC power can be used for any electrical appliances, if it is to repair the sinusoidal inverter will directly burn the cell phone battery need to double-check the inverter types
(2) Is the inverter transfer switch installed separately?
If you can choose the inverter charger you do not have to worry about, he comes with a conversion switch, you can realize the direct and AC power conversion between each other, connecting the shore power is convenient for charging, but you if you just a separate inverter you have to install the conversion switch, the RV connects to the shore power when the power supply for the case of the electricity will be directly on the inverter to cause permanent damage.
4. Precautions when installing the inverter
(1) Connect the circuit first and connect the power supply last, do not install the inverter on a circuit, be sure to cut off the circuit when installing.
(2) connect the battery if the use of lead-acid batteries to pay attention to the protection to avoid electrolyte leakage burn skin, to avoid conductive objects in contact with the battery terminals lead to battery short circuit.
(3) Design line laying, connecting the battery pack inverter wires should also pay attention to fixing and isolation, to avoid line heating melting.
Conclusion
The RV inverter is the brain in the RV circuit system, the installation of RV inverters need to be equipped with safety tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, etc. When installing, be sure to double-check that the stability and wiring is connected correctly.
