Note: Appliances like Air conditioners need at least 3 minutes to restart during a power outage.
These systems bounce on and off (time is required to balance the refrigerant gas inside the circuit);
so in order to protect your Air conditioner, please consult the Air conditioner manufacturer whether
they have already provided a time delay function before installing. Otherwise, the Power Tower may
trigger an overload fault and shut off its output to protect your appliance. This protection may not
always be sufficient and may cause permanent damage to the Air Conditioner.
3.3. Batteries & Cabling
The Power Tower is designed to work exclusively with the Power Tower Batteries (48V version) and
should not be used with any other batteries. All cabling provided should not be cut or trimmed as
this will create an imbalance in resistance throughout the cabling and cause performance issues.
Up to 5 batteries: Five batteries can be connected directly to the Power Tower without any
additional cabling. Ensure you follow the commissioning process defined in the Power Tower
Battery manual.
6 - 15 batteries: When connecting 6 or more batteries, please use jumper leads sold through
HPS or construct similar jumper leads that are identical to one another in length. Reuse the end
connectors to ensure the leads from the battery bank to the inverter are identical.
See schematic below.

3.4. AC Connections
Installation should be done by a qualified electrician. Consult local code for the proper wire sizes,
connectors, and conduit requirements.
At the bottom of the Power Tower enclosure is a 3m (10’) AC output cable which should be wired to
your breaker panel. The National Electrical Code requires an external breaker switch.
