There
are few inventions as important as inverters when it comes to making our life
more comfortable. We can sleep, work, and live without any worry of power cuts,
all thanks to inverters. People who used to plan their day according to
imminent power cuts, now don’t even realize when a power-cut comes and goes.
However,
as with any other technological invention, inverters come with a safety guide
too. It is crucial to handle the inverter and batteries with extreme care,
right from the moment one buys them. This helps in getting the optimum
performance out of the inverter as well as its battery. Here are some basic dos
and don’ts that one must follow before and after installing an inverter and
batteries.
Dos
• Read the instruction manual carefully.
• Make sure the room where you install the
inverter and its battery is well-ventilated at all times.
• The inverter and its battery must be placed on a
flat surface only.
• Ensure that the battery terminals are tightened
properly.
• All the fuses, MCB, and battery cables being
used must be rated/certified by authorized quality agencies or organizations.
• Keep the complete inverter system out of
children’s reach.
• Make sure that water or any chemical substance
does not reach the inverter or battery plates.
Don’ts
• Never couple an inverter with a locally
manufactured battery. It can damage the inverter or even cause harm to you or
other family members.
• Never place the inverter or battery in a closed
container.
• Do not connect or disconnect the battery while
the inverter is in ‘ON’ state.
• Never connect the battery cables in the reverse
direction (negative terminal with the positive terminal).
• In case multiple batteries are being used with
the inverter, never use batteries of different ratings, models or brands.
• Never connect the inverter with loads above the
recommended value.
• Do not operate the inverter with damaged plugs
or cables as it may lead to an electric shock accident.
