Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) Inverter – Overview
Function indicator
WARNING: For workshop repairs, it is only
permissible to replace the converter as a
complete unit together with the wiring
harness and the socket. The component
must not be opened, as charged capacitors
inside can still carry dangerously high
residual voltages.
The LED in the socket lights up orange when the
converter is supplying a voltage.
In the event of a fault the system switches off and
indicates the cause of the fault by flashing a trouble
code via the LED in the socket:
• 1x flash – High temperature
• 2x flashes – Overload
• 3x flashes – Internal overvoltage
• 4x flashes – Internal undervoltage
• Continuous flashing – Short circuit to power
If the converter switches off due to high
temperature then it switches back on again
automatically once the temperature has cooled
down sufficiently.
With all of the other faults which are displayed, the
converter can be reset by switching the ignition off
and back on again or by unplugging and reinserting
the consumer in the socket.
If these measures are unsuccessful then there are
no further options for directly influencing the
function yourself. G1055637en

System Operation
DC/AC converter
In the rear part of the center console there is an
optional 230 V socket instead of the outlet of the
standard 12 V electrical system.
In this case a DC/AC converter supplies a
continuous power of 150 W at 230 V/50 Hz. It can
also absorb temporary power peaks of up to 300
W when consumers are switched on. For example, an output of 150 W is sufficient to
run laptops, games consoles and mobile phone
chargers.

Component Description
DC/AC converter
The converter operates with a series connection
of two power converter circuits. The primary power
converter here is a push-pull converter. It converts
the 12 V supply from the electrical system of the
vehicle to an intermediate direct current link of
approx. 320 V.
From this intermediate direct current link, the
downstream full H-bridge circuit generates a
pulse-width modulated output voltage with 230
V/50 Hz.
A controller modulates the pulse width of the
square-wave output voltage and maintains an
effective output voltage of 230 V under varying
load conditions and under different input voltages.
Here, the rising and falling edge of the positive and
negative square wave pulse are controlled
symmetrically to the ideal shape of a sine wave,
which - among other things - also makes a positive
contribution to electromagnetic compatibility.
DC/AC converters which supply a modified square
wave output voltage are referred to as 'Modified
Sine Wave Inverters".
With this type of system there is no need for a
residual current operated device for protection in
the event of accidental contact, as all of the 230 V
lines are double-insulated. Potential-free separation
of the entire 230 V voltage part from the vehicle is
provided (electrical isolation).
The output voltage of 230 V/50 Hz is not generated
until the switching voltage is present at terminal 1
of the converter via the AC mains outlet switch.
The converter operates with the ignition switched
on and a vehicle electrical supply of between 11
V and 16 V. Internal voltage monitoring in the converter deactivates the system if the input
voltage is outside this range.

In order to prevent accidents and the risk of
electrical shock, the outlet is protected with a child
safety device and the AC outlet switch.
In order to make the system safer for children, the
safety catches for the 230 V contacts can only be
pushed to one side by pressing a Euro plug evenly
into both of the connector openings.
The AC mains outlet switch only activates the
system when a consumer is connected to the
outlet. G1055639en
