Here in this post, we are going to show you the back panel pictures of various leading
inverter models available in the market.

Almost all leading inverter models have the same kind of features, but they di er in
outlook.

Some companies give di erent name for the same function in the inverter to
di erentiate their product from the crowd.

So, don’t get confused, we will describe you about the sliding buttons and other
functions you see in the back panel of the inverter. No worries!

BACK PANEL OF SUKAM SHINY INVERTER, A PURE SINE

WAVE MODEL FROM SU KAM.

In the above picture, there are two switches in between the power output socket and
cooling fan.

W-UPS ——–UPS

LA ————-SMF/TUB

Let us explain the functions for the above two switches,

W-UPS means ‘wide UPS’ mode, which means the inverter operates in voltage range of
100 V to 300 Volt.

In this wide UPS mode, the switch over time is little longer compared to ‘UPS’ mode. So,
if you use desktop PC connected with Inverter in W-UPS Mode, your PC would restart
during power cuts.

It’s better to use UPS mode when connecting your desktop PC with your inverter for
power backup. You won’t lose any unsaved data in your computer during power cut.

This UPS mode ——W UPS mode is just similar to voltage selection button in Microtek
Inverters.

In simple words, 
W UPS – 100 to 300 Volt

UPS – 180 to 260 Volt

There are some advantages and disadvantages in using ‘UPS’ mode.

If you use UPS mode in your inverter, during evening time when the overall power
consumption rises, you might face some drop in voltage from grid. If your grid power
voltage goes below 180 v , instantly your inverter switch back to battery mode and start
using your battery power,

NO power cut required, just a low voltage will trigger your inverter to switch back to
Battery mode. This is the big problem with UPS mode in any inverter. If ‘Low voltage’
occurs frequently, then you will end up in low backup or no power backup when the real
power shedding happens L

Conclusion

If you plan to use Home UPS for your desktop computer, better you switch on UPS
mode button, only when you use your desktop computer. Switch it back to W UPS
mode, when you shut down your desktop PC.

W-UPS mode (wide ups mode) or wide voltage mode (100 to 300v) is always safe and
gives better battery life. If you don’t use any desktop PC with your inverter, always keep
your inverter in W-UPS mode (100to300V) to get better battery backup during power
cuts.

Laptop users don’t need to use UPS mode, laptops have internal battery and they don’t
reboot during power cutsJ

BATTERY SELECTION SWITCH OR CHARGE CURRENT

SELECTION SWITCH
You will nd another important switch in the back panel of Home Ups,

Battery selection switch, which is called as charge current selection switch.

—————————————————————

In Sukam shiny

This switch is labeled as LA ——SMF/TUB

LA – Normal charging mode (up to 10 amp)


SMF/TUB – High charge mode (up to 15 amp)
LA means Lead acid battery or Normal Inverter battery.

SMF means Sealed Maintenance free Battery

TUB means Tubular battery (both short and tall tubular)

————————————————————-

LA battery or Normal inverter battery – Most non-tubular inverter batteries comes under
this category.

LA mode in Sukam shiny gives only normal and safe charging current (upto 10 amp) to
connected battery. This is just a safety measure to ensure long battery life.

But during long and intermittent power shedding, we would recommend using the high
charge mode (SMF/TUB) for Normal inverter batteries (non tubular). Slow or standard
charging mode won’t quick charge your battery. It is safe to use batteries like ‘Exide
inverter plus’ in high charge mode to handle and intermittent power shedding.

Caution: How ever we recommend High charge mode (SMF/TUB) for normal inverter
batteries, we also recommend not to use high charge mode for batteries older than 3
years ( both LA and Tubular)

Batteries older than 3 years are not capable of accepting the high charge current (up to
15 amp), there is a risk of battery failure.

Play safe!

REPLACING THE FUSE IN HOME UPS / INVERTER

This is just a simple job to restore your inverter.

Fuse in the back panel of the inverter may blow at times of high voltage or any other
voltage uctuations in the grid.

NO need to call a technician to replace this fuse. Most inverters are provided with spare
fuses. Check your inverter box for spare fuses. Some electricians will take the spare
fuses provided with new inverters during installation and they don’t allow the consumer
to replace it themselves.

It is a not that much complicated job, you can try it yourself.

Just open the fuse cap at the back panel of inverter (open it like opening a bottle cap),
check whether the fuse is blown or intact.

If you nd faulty or blown fuse, replace it with new fuse provided with your inverter.

Caution: Switch OFF the mains supply before working on your inverter. Replace the
blown fuse with same amp rating, never try with lower or higher amp rating.
