No. The inverter just connects to the N.O. contacts of the relay. It does exactly what you want it to do - switches the inverter off when the battery voltage drops below 11 volts, and back on when it gets up to 12 volts.crunch53 said:Do I understand you right? I need to put the relay in my inverter.
As designed, the hysteresis is about 1 volt. The pot determines the switch points. In other words, if you set it to switch off at 11 volts, it will switch back on at 12 volts. If you set it to switch off at 10 volts, it will switch back on at 11 volts. You can change the amount of hysteresis by changing the value of R2. To double the hysteresis to 2 volts, change R2 to around 75k. The pot should still allow you enough threshold adjustment range. The pot will affect the hysteresis to some extent.crunch53 said:OK, so I just need to make that circuit then right. What do I need to change if I want those voltages a little different?
