Troubleshooting Inverter Applications The Xanbus system performs differently depending on the AC loads connected to it. If you are having problems with any of your loads, read this section. The Xanbus system perform differently based on different loads. Resistive Loads These are the loads that the inverter finds the simplest and most efficient to drive. Voltage and current are in phase, which means they are in step with one another. Resistive loads usually generate heat in order to accomplish their tasks.
Troubleshooting drive these loads, either a small companion load must be used to bring the inverter out of its search mode, or the inverter may be programmed to remain on by defeating the search mode feature. Clocks The inverter’s crystal-controlled oscillator keeps the frequency accurate to within a few seconds a day. Most clocks do not draw enough power to trigger the load sensing circuit. In order to operate without other loads present, the load sensing will have to be defeated.

Specifications Invert Power Derating vs Ambient Temperature The inverter/charger delivers up to 2000 watts continuous of sine wave output to 50 °C ambient temperature and 1500 watts continuous of sine wave output to 60 °C ambient temperature, derated linearly from 50 °C to 60 °C. If the unit is in elevated ambient temperature above 50 °C, you are required to reduce power draw according to the Figure A-1 to avoid over-temperature shutdown.
B Battery Charging Reference for the Main Charger Appendix B, “Battery Charging Reference for the Main Charger” describes the multistage charging algorithm (formula) for the main charger of the MS2000.
Battery Charging Reference for the Main Charger Charging Algorithms (Formulas) Battery Type MS2000 charges flooded (or wet) lead-acid, gel, AGM (absorbed glass mat), and custom batteries. Flooded (or wet) Flooded (or wet) batteries have removable battery caps for refilling with distilled water and testing the electrolyte. Gel Gel batteries have the electrolyte in the form of a gel rather than a liquid and do not require topping up. Gel batteries are sealed and the battery caps are not removable.
Battery Charging Reference for the Main Charger Bulk Charge In the first stage—the bulk charge—MS2000 delivers its full-rated output current. This constant current is delivered to the batteries until the battery voltage approaches its gassing voltage—typically around 13.5 volts for 12 volt batteries. The bulk charge stage restores about 75% of the battery’s charge.
Battery Charging Reference for the Main Charger Equalization Charge The equalization charge must be manually initiated from the System Control Panel because it is not required each time the battery is recharged. Equalization is a deliberate overcharge designed to return each cell to optimum condition by reducing sulfation and stratification in the battery. The overcharge helps the battery to reach and maintain peak capacity.

AC Reconnect Summary If AC is disconnected during charging, the charge stage after AC is reconnected is indicated in Table B-2.
C Terminology This section provides a glossary of terms and a listing of abbreviations used in this guide.
Terminology Glossary Absorption Charge The second stage of three-stage battery charging. Voltage remains constant and current reduces as the battery becomes charged. This ensures complete charging. Alternating Current (AC) The type of electrical power supplied by the power utility or an AC generator. The unique characteristic of this form of electricity is that it reverses direction at regular intervals.
Terminology Engine Battery The engine battery is the battery connected to the Echo Charger output. Typically, this will be an engine starting battery or an auxiliary battery for loads other than the inverter. Float Charge The third stage of three-stage battery charging. After batteries reach full charge, charging voltage is reduced to a lower level to prevent gassing and to prolong battery life. This stage is often referred to as a maintenance charge.
Terminology Sine Wave The standard waveform of electric utility AC power. A sine wave is a rounded, smooth waveform alternating above and below zero volts. Surge Capacity The amount of current an inverter can deliver for short periods of time. Most electric motors draw up to six to ten times their rated current when starting. An inverter will “surge” to meet these motor-starting requirements. Most Xantrex inverters have surge capacities at least twice their continuous ratings.
Terminology Abbreviations Abbreviation Full name Definition A Ampere (Amps) See Glossary. ABYC American Boat and Yacht Council The ABYC is an American organization that publishes recreational boating safety standards. AC Alternating Current See Glossary. AGM Absorbed Glass Mat A type of battery in which the electrolyte or battery fluid is contained in glass-fibre mats between battery plates. Ah Ampere hour (amp hour) See Glossary.
Terminology Abbreviation Full name Definition SOC State of charge Indicates the quantity of electrical energy stored inside a battery. UL Underwriters Laboratory A standards writing and certification body which tests and approves products for regulatory compliance to international standards. THD Total Harmonic Distortion A measure of how pure or clean a waveform is. VAC Volts Alternating Current See Alternating Current in Glossary. VDC Volts Direct Current See Direct Current in Glossary.
