Circuit/System Description
The accessory power receptacles are supplied B+ all the time.
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery voltage to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) alternating current (AC) in order to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module is connected to a chassis ground circuit and receives fuse protected battery voltage.
The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the receptacle. When the ignition is ON and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay.
12 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle Description and Operation
The 12 V accessory power receptacles are supplied B+ all the time.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Description
The alternating current (AC) accessory power outlet system consists of the accessory DC/AC power inverter module and the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module converts 12 V direct current (DC) battery power to 110 V at 60 Hertz (Hz) AC power to operate AC powered devices. The accessory DC/AC power inverter module provides up to 150 watts of power. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC provides the usual connection for AC powered devices.
110 Volt Power Outlet Receptacle System Operation
The accessory DC/AC power inverter module receives fuse protected battery voltage and is connected to the 12 V electrical system ground. The accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC has an internal switch, that detects when an AC powered device is plugged into the outlet. When the ignition is ON, and an AC powered device is plugged into the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, the normally open switch in the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC, closes. When the accessory DC/AC power inverter module detects the voltage from the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC switch, the inverter module begins to supply 110 V AC to the accessory power receptacle - 110 V AC after a 1.5 second delay. The accessory AC power system is protected against circuit overload and circuit shorts to ground.
