GENERAL INFORMATION
WF-9800 Series Converter-Charger Safety Features
Reverse Battery Protection
๎˜Ÿe WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers will charge the 12-volt house battery if installed. A
battery does not have to be installed for WF-9800 Series Converter-Chargers operation. When a
battery is installed, two reverse polarity fuses are installed to protect the converter circuitry. ๎˜Ÿe
fuses are located on the rear panel of the enclosure near the AC power cord (refer to Figure 1
below). ๎˜Ÿis feature prevents permanent damage to the converter from a battery connected into
the circuit backwards. In addition to protecting the converter-charger, the reverse polarity fuses
are the main connection between the converter-charger and the DC fuse board of a distribution
center.
