1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the XPower Inverter 300. The

XPower 300 is part of a family of advanced, high-

performance power inverters from Xantrex, the leader in the

field of high-frequency inverter design.

Connected to the 12 volt outlet in your vehicle or directly to

your battery for loads over 150 watts, the XPower 300

efficiently and reliably powers a wide variety of household

AC products, such as TVs and VCRs, laptop computers,

camcorder and cell phone chargers, compact fluorescent

lights, and soldering irons.

The XPower 300 uses reliable solid state power electronics

for years of safe, trouble-free operation and includes

automatic safety monitoring circuitry to protect it from

inadvertent overload conditions.

Read this guide before connecting or using the XPower 300,

and save it for future reference. The main topics in the guide

are:

• Safety information (page 2)

• XPower 300 features (page 6)

• Instructions for connecting the inverter (page 9)

• Operating guidelines (page 19)

• Troubleshooting information (page 23)

• Specifications (page 27)

• Warranty and service information (page 29)

2 Important Safety Information

If the XPower 300 is connected or used incorrectly,

hazardous conditions may be created. Read and save this

safety information, and pay special attention to all Caution

and Warning statements in the guide and on the inverter

itself. Warnings and Cautions are indicated by this symbol:

•Warning statements identify conditions that could

result in personal injury or loss of life.

•Caution statements identify conditions or practices that

could result in damage to the XPower 300 or other

equipment.

Warnings and Cautions

WARNING: Shock hazard

The XPower 300 generates the same potentially lethal AC

power as a household wall outlet. Do not insert foreign

objects in the inverter’s AC outlet or any other openings in

the inverter. Do not open the inverter. Have a qualified

individual complete any service work.

WARNING: Shock hazard

Do not expose the XPower 300 to water, rain, snow, or

spray.

WARNING: Risk of fire or explosion

The XPower 300 contains components that tend to produce

arcs or sparks. To prevent fire or explosion, do not install

the inverter in compartments containing batteries or

flammable materials or in locations that require ignition-

protected equipment.

WARNING: Fire hazard

To reduce the risk of fire, do not cover or obstruct the

ventilation openings. Do not install the XPower 300 in a

zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.

WARNING: Shock and fire hazard

During installation route all cable/wiring away from sharp

edges and hot surfaces of the engine compartment or

vehicle.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to equipment

The XPower 300 is designed to be directly connected to

standard electrical and electronic equipment in the manner

described in this guide. Do not connect it to household or

RV AC distribution wiring. Do not connect it to any AC

load circuit in which the neutral conductor is connected to

ground (earth) or to the negative of the DC (battery)

source.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to the XPower

300

Reverse battery polarity (negative connected to positive;

positive connected to negative) will damage the XPower

300, and it will require servicing. Damage caused by

reverse polarity is not covered by your warranty.

CAUTION: Risk of damage to rechargeable

appliances

The output of the XPower 300 is non-sinusoidal. Certain

battery chargers can be damaged if they are connected to

the XPower 300. Two particular types of equipment are

prone to this problem:

• Small battery-operated appliances such as

rechargeable flashlights, shavers, and night lights that

can be plugged directly into an AC receptacle to

recharge.

• Certain battery chargers for battery packs used in hand

power tools. These chargers have a warning label

stating that dangerous voltages are present at the

charger battery terminals.

Do not use the XPower 300 with the type of appliances

just described.

CAUTION: Risk of damage due to high

temperatures

Do not use the XPower 300 in temperatures over 40° C

(105° F). Overheating may result.

3 XPower 300 Inverter Features

This section describes the main features of the XPower 300.

Figure 1 shows the inverter’s AC panel.

Figure 1 AC Panel on the XPower 300 (European AC Outlet)

➀ AC Outlet An AC outlet is located on one end of the

inverter. It allows you to plug in a 230 volt AC product with

a power consumption of 150 watts or less when the inverter

is operated from a vehicle lighter socket, or 300 watts or less

when it is connected directly to a battery.

The AC outlet on your inverter may be different from the

one shown here. For all available outlets, see Figure 2,

Figure 3, and Figure 4, on page 8.

➁ On/Standby Switch The two positions on the On/

Standby switch are: = Standby and = On.
