IPS5000 5KVA Inverter can feeds almost all kinds of appliances from home to office environment,
including motor characteristic appliances like tube light, fan, refrigerator and Air conditioner.
Note: Appliances like Air conditioner needs at least 3 minutes to restart in case of a power shortage
occurs in a way that the power turns off then back on again rapidly (time is required to balance
the refrigerant gas in inside circuit); so in order to protect your Air conditioner, please consult
the Air conditioner manufacturer whether they have already provided time delay function
before installing. Otherwise, Inverter will trig overload fault and shut off its output to protect
your appliance but sometimes it is not enough and your Air conditioner can be damaged
internally beyond repair.

Battery Charger
y Inverter to Charger Transition
The internal battery charger and automatic transfer relay allow the unit to operate as either a
battery charger or inverter (but not both at the same time). The unit automatically becomes a
battery charger whenever AC power is supplied to its AC input. The unit’s AC input is internally
connected to the inverter’s AC output while in the battery charger mode.
y Charger Terminology
1. Constant Current Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are charged at a constant
current.
2. Constant Voltage Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are held at the constant
voltage (14.1V/battery AGM&GEL, 14.6v/battery FLOODED) and accept whatever current (less
than the current in CC stage) is required to maintain this voltage. This ensures fully charging.
3. Floating Stage- During this charge cycle, the batteries are held at the float voltage
(13.5V/battery).
If the A/C is reconnected, the charger will reset the cycle above.
If the charge maintains the float state for 21 days, the charger will reset the cycle.
Circuit Breaker
The unit contains one input circuit breakers located on the rear panel of the chassis, which close to
the AC input terminal block. The INPUT PROTECT circuit breaker protects the charger circuit and
bypass circuit. The circuit breaker will trig out once input over current. Reset the circuit breaker by
press the handspike.
