Material Prepare for Installation
Typical Wiring block diagram of the Enerdrive ePOWER Inverter:
Battery Bank:
• The use of deep cycle battery is highly recommended for power inverter application
• For battery size, you need to identify how long you wish to operate the load(s). Enerdrive does
recommend that you purchase as much battery capacity as possible. See more on “Estimated Run time
and Load” in Section 4.
• Please use 12V Battery Bank system for 12V DC Input Inverter (EN1104S). Use 24V Battery Bank system for
24V DC Input Inverter (EN1105S-24). Using 12V DC Input Inverter on 24V Battery System will damage
the inverter and may catch fire.
Fuse or Circuit Breaker:
• DC-rated fuse or DC-rated circuit breaker connected along the DC positive line is required.
• Select a fuse or circuit breaker with 60A/16V minimum rating for the 12V DC Input Inverter(s) and 35A/
30V minimum rating for the 24V DC Input Inverter(s).
• Based on the size of the battery bank chosen on the 12V or 24V Battery Bank system above, determine
the overall short circuit current rating of the battery bank from the battery manufacturer. The fuse or
circuit breaker chosen has to be able to withstand the short circuit current that may be generated by the
battery bank.
Disconnect Switch:
• Select a Disconnect Switch with the same or higher rating of the selected fuse or circuit breaker from
the above.
• The Disconnect Switch is used to disconnect the DC power between the power inverter and the battery
bank during service, maintenance or trouble shooting.
DC Input Cable:
• Use of low resistance wire is required for all the DC connections between the inverter and the battery
bank.
• Use minimum 10mm2 cable with a maximum length of 1.5m for 12VDC inverter and 6mm2 cable with a
maximum length of 1.5m for 24v inverter systems.
