The field-wiring terminals may be electrically live, even when the ELI is not connected to
the utility.
Use caution when servicing batteries. A battery can present a risk of electrical shock,

spilled on skin or in eyes, flush with fresh water and contact physician immediately.
When replacing batteries use the same number and type (sealed-cell lead acid).
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
Dangerous voltages may be present during battery operation. The batteries must be
disconnected during maintenance or service work. (Open battery breaker or fuses)

Inverter Layout
The inverter is composed of IGBT’s, inductors, capacitors, highly efficient filters,
control circuitry and protection circuitry. This inverter inverts the DC power
received on the DC bus to isolated, noise-free AC power, which is then supplied
to the critical loads. Our PWM wave generator is switching at a higher frequency

eliminate output distortion. Every component is oversized to accept a wide DC
input range (from 285 to 420VDC), allowing the output waveform to remain
sinusoidal throughout the entire range. With the aid of dynamic feedback loop
circuits the inverter maintains a true sine wave output, even if non-linear
inverters are totally independent of each other preventing the possibility of
cascading failures. This allows the user to connect loads to adjacent inverters
without affecting the other inverters providing high-end voltage regulation under a
