Connecting the Power Cable for 12-48 VDC Vehicles 
(10-60 VDC Direct Connection)

Note: Refer to the Thor VM1A User Guide for other power 

connections, available at

.

Caution:   For installation by trained service 

personnel only.

Warning: Fuse Requirements

For proper and safe installation, the input power cable 
must be connected to a fused circuit on the vehicle. If 
the supply connection is made directly to the battery, 
the fuse should be installed in the positive lead within 5 
inches of the battery’s positive (+) terminal. The fused 
circuit requires a maximum time delay (slow blow) fuse 
with a current rating as noted below. 

• For 12VDC input, use a 10A slow blow fuse that has a 

DC voltage rating greater than 12VDC.

• For 24VDC input, use a 6A slow blow fuse that has a 

DC voltage rating greater than 24VDC.

• For 36VDC input, use a 4A slow blow fuse that has a 

DC voltage rating greater than 36VDC.

• For 48VDC input, use a 3A slow blow fuse that has a 

DC voltage rating greater than 48VDC.

Note: For North America, a UL Listed fuse must be used.
