Connecting the Equipment Ground:
WARNING
: Fire hazard –
Improper grounding may result in a fire hazard. It is crucial to never
operate the inverter without ensuring the equipment is properly connected to ground.
The inverter has a ground stud on the side near the DC end. Use this to connect the inverter’s
chassis to ground; usually the vehicle’s chassis or DC negative bus ground using a properly
insulated copper wire. There are no restrictions on length for the equipment ground cable.
General practice is to not have a ground cable within one (1) AWG of the supply cable.
STEP 4: Connect the AC input wires. (optional for AC Input)
WARNING
: Fire, Shock, and Energy hazard –
Ensure all other wiring is
disconnected from all sources before beginning these steps. Wiring to and from the inverter
should be done to proper wiring codes. DO NOT connect any AC input source to the output
terminals of the inverter.
