6. Minimum cable lengths.
Select a location that minimizes the length of
battery cables in order to reduce voltage drop from impedance leading
to reduced performance.
NOTICE
Only a non-conductive material that covers less than 20% of the heat sink for 'over the
top' hold-downs may be used.
NOTE
Warranty will be void if operated outside of these conditions.
6.3 DC Cables
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD:
Undersized cables can become hot and may potentially catch fire.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury.
The DC battery cables should meet the following requirements:
1. Copper-stranded cable.
DC cables must be stranded, copper, and must
be rated 90 °C minimum. The cables must be terminated with lugs that
fit the DC terminals snugly.
2. Minimum cable lengths.
Select a location that minimizes the length of
battery cables in order to reduce voltage drop from impedance leading
to reduced performance.
3. Appropriate cable gauge.
The cables should be capable of carrying the
normally expected current, plus a margin of safety.
4. Proper polarity.
Positive ( + ) connected to positive ( + ), and negative ( - )
connected to ( - ).
6.4 DC Protection
CAUTION
FIRE HAZARD:
Undersized fuses and disconnects may become overloaded and
potentially cause a fire. Fuses and disconnects and are required to open before the
cable reaches its maximum current carrying capability.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in minor to moderate injury.
To protect the system and DC battery cables, additional DC over-current
protection and a DC disconnect switch are required.
1. Appropriate size.
Fuses and disconnects must be sized in accordance
with local codes to protect the wiring in the system and are required to
open before the cable reaches its maximum current carrying capability.
1. Install protection in the positive cable.
The fuse and disconnect should
be located as close as possible to the battery and must be installed in
