Abstract
A system for controlling an AC power inverter has a charging power source (e.g., vehicle alternator), a battery (e.g., vehicle crank battery), a DC to AC power inverter, a shunt or current-measuring device (which may either be internal to, or external to, the AC power inverter), electrical connections (i.e., cables and connections between the charging power source, battery, AC power inverter, and shunt), and a control module; wherein the control module is capable of measuring shunt voltage, battery voltage, elapsed time, and is capable of turning the AC power inverter On and Off based upon certain criteria (i.e., control logic).
