Technical FAQs 4

What are the different types of inverter protection?

Surge protection: This type of protection is designed to protect the inverter from power surges and voltage spikes. Overload protection: This type of protection is designed to protect the inverter from being overloaded. Under-voltage protection: This type of protection is designed to protect the inverter from low voltage.

Do inverters need protection?

Without proper protection, an inverter can be damaged by power surges, voltage spikes, and other electrical disturbances. There are several types of protection that can be used to protect inverters: Surge protection: This type of protection is designed to protect the inverter from power surges and voltage spikes.

Can a victron battery protect be used to control an inverter?

You cannot use a Victron battery protect in the power feed cable to an inverter. You could use it to control a remote disable feature if the inverter has this. The idea of using a low cost low voltage detect module could control the inverter if it has remote enable/disable, or hack Into the unit and replace the on/of switch with a relay contact.

Can a 10V inverter drop a Fla battery?

So, unless there's an approx 2V voltage drop due to a constant 100w load (approx 0.1C), an inverter with a 10V cutoff would see the FLA battery drop well into the "oops! overdischarged" zone. Thanks again, this has been very useful.
