The following table displays the recommended batterycapacity per inverter type :Inverter type : Iin at Pnom : Recommended battery cap. :PS200-12 18 ADC ≥ 50 AhPS200-24 9 ADC ≥ 30 AhPS200-48 4 ADC ≥ 20 AhPS300-12 26 ADC ≥ 100 AhPS350-24 15 ADC ≥ 60 AhPS450-48 7 ADC ≥ 30 AhPS600-12 47 ADC ≥ 200AhPS800-24 29 ADC ≥ 120AhPS800-48 14 ADC ≥ 60AhFor short time inverter usage the recommended battery capacity can be halved. The inverter shuts down whenthe battery voltage is below approx. 0.88xVnom or above 1.3xVnom. In a low or high battery situation theinverter is generating one beep per second to inform you about a possible inverter shut down (except PS200-xx models). This acoustical message will start at a battery voltage which is close to the shutdown voltage.CAUTIONALL 12V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 12VBATTERY.The inverter will not operate from a 6V battery and will be damaged whenconnected to battery voltages higher than 24V.ALL 24V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 24VBATTERY.The inverter will not operate from a 12V battery and may be damagedwhen connected to battery voltages higher than 31V.ALL 48V INVERTERS MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO A 48VBATTERY.The inverter will not operate from a < 40V battery and may be damagedwhen connected to battery voltages higher than 60V.2.4 Connection to the batteryUnless it is absolutely necessary, TBS advises not to extend the battery wires. Extendingthe battery wires may increase system losses and can cause inverter malfunctioning. If itis unavoidable to extend these wires, use a wire gauge of at least 1.5 times larger thanthe ones supplied with the inverter. Maximum recommended battery wire length is approx.3 meters.2.4.1 General precautions about working with batteries1. Working in vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generateexplosive gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in vicinityof a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.2. Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries.
