7. AC POWER SUPPLY

The AC Power Supply is designed for maintaining today's modern life while

traveling in vans, RVs, automobiles, trucks, or vehicle that has a 12 Volt battery

power supply and a means to recharge those batteries. The HUSKY® PORTABLE

POWER SYSTEM comes with:

1. AC On/Off switch - Slide button to turn the AC Power Supply on and off. (See

Figure 3.)

2. 120 VAC Power Outlet from a vehicle’sDCaccessory outlet with a DC charging

adapter.

3. AC Power Supply ON Status Indicator - Green LED lights when AC outlet is turned

on; orange/red LED lights if unit is overloaded, overheating, or short circuited.

4. AC Power Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt (GFCI) - A 3-prong outlet for 120 VAC

appliances which shuts down inverter if leakage or ground fault current is

detected.

5. Internal protective circuits including:

• Overload and over-temperature shutdown (activated if AC output exceeds

400 watts).

• AC short-circuit shutdown

• Low Voltage shutdown

• High-input voltage shutdown

The Husky AC Power Supply also incorporates a new cooling technology that

directly benefits customers. The new design more efficiently cools the power

transistors and, combined with soft start, dramatically increases reliability and

the product life.

ETL listed - Tested to UL458 standards for power inverters

system for land vehicles.

Figure 3 details the AC Power Supply front panel.

The DC accessory outlet (1) allows the use of appliances that use DC power.

Air vents (2) keep the unit from overheating.

An On/Off Switch (3) turns the AC Power circuitry on and off. The

ON/OFF switch can also be used to reset the AC Power after shutdown

due to overvoltage, overload or an over-temperature condition.

The On Status Indicator (4) lights when the AC Power Supply is on.

The AC outlet (5) allows use of AC appliances.

The AC Power Supply (6) covers the AC Power Supply panel when not in use.
