CAUTION
: Reverse polarity –
Connecting wires improperly (i.e. the
neutral
wire into the
line
termination) will cause the inverter to break down and possibly cause permanent
damage.
11.
It is very important to not confuse the connections (i.e. putting the
line
conductor into the
neutral
termination). From the AC cable, typical wire-color schemes are as follows:
BARE COPPER or GREEN or GREEN/YELLOW insulation is GROUND wire
BLACK or BROWN insulation is the LINE wire
WHITE or BLUE insulation is the NEUTRAL wire
Confirm proper wires are in correct termination and tighten screws. Leave some wiring
slack inside the compartment.
If there is no need to hardwire the AC OUTPUT, make sure the GFCI is in its proper
location and install the front panel back on to the inverter. If hardwiring the AC
OUTPUT is required, continue with the procedure below.
STEP 5: Connecting AC OUTPUT wires (optional for hardwire AC
output)
WARNING
: Shock, fire, and energy hazard –
Ensure all sources have been
disconnected from power before continuing. Wiring of the inverter should be in accordance with
wiring codes.
WARNING
: Shock hazard and equipment damage -
DO NOT connect any AC
input source to the output terminals of the inverter. Connecting an AC voltage source to the
output of the inverter will cause serious damage, and possibly hazardous conditions may occur,
even if the inverter is OFF.
The
Cooper Bussmann Inverter
will not operate if connected to high-power
consumption loads.
The inverter is not meant to operate loads that consume more than 1000 Watts or 1800 Watts
(depending on the inverter model being used).
The GFCI AC receptacle has been approved by Cooper Bussmann and cannot be removed from
the inverter. The AC receptacle must be utilized, unless the AC output is hardwired.
WARNING
: Shock, fire, and energy hazards –
Ensure all other wiring systems are
disconnected and/or disabled before continuing. Wiring of the inverter should be in accordance
with wiring codes. DO NOT connect any AC input source to the output terminals of the inverter.
