Xantrex Prosine 1800i "DCDC Shutdown" when connecting AC Load
Could s.b. help me with my problem? Its a Prosine 1800i 12v to 230V Inverter. The inverter starts normaly. When connecting a load to the ac connector the inverter breakdown with blinking display "DCDC SHUTDOWN" If i only check the output voltage it will show me exactly 230V, larger loads will have the above effect.
What could be the problem?

Hi
Did you find a fault or get it repaired as I have a very similar fault with a Statpower (Xantrex) Prosine 24v 1800i 230v inverter the only difference is that mine faults out with no load on it
Thanks
Hi Schnupfy,
Well, it may be advertised as 1800 watts, but that is a peak. While the 230 VAC may be dead on target, don't expect it to run a mig welder.
Sustained high output is totally dependent upon the power source. What it's doing is protecting itself. DCDC Shutdown indicated 'An overload or system Fault'
Possible problems that would cause this:
- The load is too high (what is the load?)
- The power source is intermittent or weak
- The power source is run through a distribution panel or isolator (Voltage drop)
- The wiring from the 12VDC source is too long for the gauge used
Click here for a PDF copy of the manual. It is quite well documented.BEST REGARDS,
MIKE
