Technical Specifications

Specifications are based on the manufacturer's published Z4 1.6 KVA specifications. Always verify the exact unit/revision before installation.

Solar Input – Important

The Z4 has a maximum PV open-circuit voltage of 40V and a PV operating range of 15–40V DC.

This is an important specification when selecting solar panels.

Do not connect a solar-panel configuration that exceeds the inverter's 40V maximum PV open-circuit voltage.

Solar panel Voc can increase in certain conditions, so the complete panel configuration must be checked before installation. A qualified solar installer should verify the panel Voc, Vmp and current against the inverter specifications.

Do not assume that standard high-voltage residential solar panel strings are compatible with this inverter.

Battery Requirement

The Ziewnic Z4 operates on a 12V DC battery system.

Compatible battery technology should be selected according to the inverter's charging parameters and the manufacturer's recommendations.

Possible battery options may include:

• 12V lead-acid battery systems

• Compatible 12V tubular batteries

• Compatible 12V lithium battery systems, subject to proper charging-voltage compatibility

For lithium batteries, make sure the battery/BMS charging parameters are compatible with the inverter before installation.

Battery capacity is not included with the inverter unless specifically mentioned in the product package.

What Can It Run?

With a rated output of 1050W, the inverter is intended for loads within its rated capacity.

Suitable examples can include:

• LED lights

• Ceiling fans

• DC/AC fans

• Wi-Fi routers

• TVs

• Computers

• Small electronics

• Selected small household appliances

• Other compatible loads within the inverter's power rating

Actual operation depends on the appliance's running power, starting/surge requirements and the total connected load.

Important

Do not select appliances based only on their running wattage. Appliances with motors or compressors can have significantly higher starting/surge requirements.

Examples include:

• Refrigerators

• Water pumps

• Large fans

• Air conditioners

• Compressors

Always check the appliance's starting power before connecting it.

Why Choose the Ziewnic Z4?

Hybrid Power System

Use available mains, battery and solar power through one integrated inverter system.

Built-In Solar Charger

The inverter includes a 60A semi-MPPT solar charging controller, reducing the need for a separate solar charge controller.

12V Battery System

A 12V architecture makes it suitable for smaller backup systems and applications where a 12V battery bank is preferred.

Multiple Protection Features

Built-in protection helps protect the inverter and connected system against conditions such as overload, short circuit, over-temperature and low battery.

Compact Solution

Inverter, charger and solar charging functions are integrated into one unit.

Protection Features

The Ziewnic Z4 includes protection and warning functions such as:

• Low battery alarm

• Low battery shutdown

• Overcharge protection

• Overload alarm

• Overload shutdown

• Short-circuit protection

• Over-temperature shutdown

• Reverse polarity protection

• Auto restart after AC recovery

Important Load Limitation

Maximum rated output: 1050W

For reliable operation, avoid continuously operating the inverter at its absolute maximum rating.

The actual usable load depends on:

• Battery condition

• Battery capacity

• Appliance starting current

• Solar generation

• Ambient temperature

• Wiring and installation quality

• Input voltage

• Connected load profile

Installation

Professional installation is recommended.

The installation should include appropriately sized:

• Battery cables

• DC protection/fuse or breaker

• AC protection

• Solar DC protection where required

• Proper earthing/grounding

• Correctly rated connectors and terminals

Because this is a 12V / high-current inverter, battery-side current can become very high at heavy loads. Proper cable sizing and DC protection are extremely important.

Do not install or operate the inverter without following the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ziewnic Z4 a hybrid inverter?

Yes. It combines inverter, AC charging and solar charging functions in one unit.

What is the power rating?

The Z4 is rated at 1600VA / 1050W.

What battery voltage does it use?

It uses a 12V DC battery system.

How much solar can it support?

The manufacturer's specification lists a maximum PV array power of 1000W.

Can I connect normal high-voltage solar panels?

Do not assume so. The Z4's maximum PV open-circuit voltage is only 40V. The complete solar-panel configuration must remain within the inverter's voltage limits.

Is this a pure sine wave inverter?

No. The manufacturer's specification identifies the Z4 1.6 KVA as a simulated sine wave inverter.

Does it include a battery?

No, unless specifically stated in the selected package.

Does it have a built-in solar charge controller?

Yes. It has a built-in 60A semi-MPPT solar charger.

Can I use it without solar panels?

Yes. It can operate as an inverter/backup system with mains and battery according to the configured operating mode.

Can I run an air conditioner on it?

It is not recommended to market this inverter for air conditioners. Its rated output is 1050W, and air conditioners can have substantial starting and running power requirements.

Can it run a refrigerator?

It may be possible depending on the refrigerator's running and starting requirements, but compatibility should be confirmed before purchase.

Can it run fans and lights?

Yes, provided the combined running and starting load remains within the inverter's capabilities.
