Monsoon Power Backup Guide - Apex battery Inverter

Key takeaways

Seal and elevate to prevent water ingress

Install surge protection and confirm earthing

Weekly moisture checks and post-rain runtime test

1. Waterproofing and Enclosures

Use IP-rated enclosures and weatherproof covers. Seal cable entry points to prevent water ingress.

2. Surge Protection

Install surge protection devices (SPDs) and ensure proper earthing to protect sensitive electronics.

3. Safe Wiring Practices

Route cables away from water-prone areas, elevate battery banks, and tighten all terminals.

4. Regular Inspection Checklist - invertor service

Check for moisture, rust, and corrosion weekly

Test backup runtime after heavy rain

Verify earthing resistance values

Pro tip: Keep a spare set of fuses and a moisture absorber near the enclosure.
