21.1 BASIC TOUR OF THE MAXXSST™ 3000 INVERTERAC power is supplied via two standard North American grounded,household-typereceptacles (U-ground) as shown in FIGURE 1 (THE FRONT PANEL). This allows theconnection and operation of most 110 VAC-powered electrical and/or electronicappliances using a standard plug. Each U-ground receptacle is separately protectedby a 15-amp circuit breaker. For heavy duty applications, appliances or electricaldistribution circuits can be wired directly to the High Output Terminal Block. The terminalblock wires are color-coded: black-hot, white-neutral and green-ground. Note thatthe High Output Terminal Block MUST be wired to a user-supplied dual ganged30 Ampere, 110 volt AC circuit breaker if the terminal block is used. For safetyreasons, the circuit breaker can be a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) breaker if thedistribution wiring AC outlets are located near plumbing or where unsupervisedsmall children will have access to them.Figure 1. Front Panel.The rest of the front panel items are: One vertically mounted LED bar voltmeter thatindicates battery voltage measured at the inverter’s DC terminals. One verticallymounted LED bar ammeter that indicates battery current drawn by just the inverter.An ON/OFF switch that turns off the inverter circuitry, the cooling fan and AC out-put. A high-temp LED indicator and Overload LED indicator. If either of these light,the inverter will automatically shut down until the condition improves.FIGURE 2 shows the back panel DC connectors and fan locations. Note thatthe fan only operates when the inverter temperature rises. It shuts off when coolingis not required.GROUNDINGTERMINALFigure 2.

The MAXXSST™ 3000 wattage output is sufficient tooperate most power tools and microwave ovens but remember that the powerneeded to start the power tool may be as much as 2 to 6 times its continuouswattage requirements.
