HIGH VOLTAGES EXIST IN THIS EQUIPMENT. TREAT AS HOUSE MAINS.
GENERAL: Small wall mounting inverters, generating mains level voltage, capable of powering
most equipment from 48V, 60V, 72V, or 84V battery systems (model specific). Units with other
input and output voltages are available. Note that only heavy duty (high discharge rate) batteries are
suitable (so called 'leisure batteries' are unlikely to be able to supply sufficient current without
excessive voltage drop). Models with appropriate output sockets are available to suit all countries.
The output is a stepped AC quasi sine wave of nominally 230V or 115V RMS.
The specification allows for up to 700 watts of continuous power to be taken, with 800 watts for up
to 5 minutes, accommodating short term heaters, motor start, etc. New 'POWER PUSH' © surge
handling usually allows operation of equipment drawing a starting surge of over 3 kilowatts.
Because the output waveform contains high order harmonics, any Live to Neutral capacitance, such
as is found in equipment mains filters, causes a reduction in conversion efficiency. Use of the
Handy Mains is therefore limited to equipment having less than 2.0uF (230V) or 4.0uF (115V)
direct Line to Neutral capacitance. Power factor correction capacitors must be removed from
fluorescent lights. A filter is available for high capacitance loads.
The battery input is via flat 4 mm screw terminals mounted under the raised body of the unit. The
unit may be turned off and on remotely, by a low current control input supplied from battery
positive via a small switch. The output is ohmically isolated via a safety barrier from the input.
