105.4 Electronics Cabinet Voltage Check

Using  a  digital  volt-ohm  meter,  check  for  correct  nominal  battery  voltage  between  electronics  cabinet  DC  Input  NEG  and  POS  wires. 

 

Refer to table in section 

105.3

 for proper system DC voltage. Voltage reading should be ±10% of system DC voltage.

106. AC Connections

CAUTION:

a.

All  Inverter system units contain hazardous AC and DC voltages. Because of these voltages, a qualified electrician must install the
Inverter system, AC line service, and batteries. The electrician must install the AC line service according to local, state and NEC codes 

 

and must be familiar with batteries and battery installation. 

b.

Before  installing,  maintaining,  or  servicing  the  unit,  always  remove  or  shut  off  all  sources  of  AC  and  DC  power  and  shut  off  the
Inverter system. Disconnect AC line input at the service panel and turn off the Main DC Switch and the Main AC Switch to make 

sure the unit will not supply output voltage. 

c.

Whenever  AC  and/or  DC  voltage  is  applied,  there  will  be  AC  voltage  inside  the  Inverter  system  unit;  the  unit  can
supply power from AC line or from its batteries. To avoid equipment damage or personal injury, always assume that there may be voltage 

 

inside the Inverter system. 

d.

Remove rings, watches, and other jewelry before installing the AC wiring. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection and use
insulated  tools  when  working  near  batteries.  Whenever  servicing  an  energized  unit  with  the  inside  panel  open,  electric  shock  is 

 

possible; follow all local safety codes. 

TEST BEFORE TOUCHING!

 

e.

To  reduce  the  risk  of  fire  or  electric  shock,  install  the  Inverter  system  and  the  batteries  in  a  temperature-controlled  and
humidity-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. See Section 

103

 for operating environment specifications.

106.1 AC Wiring Preparations

1.

Remove the system's front cover. Make sure all breakers are in the off position.

2.

Make sure the Inverter system input and output voltages are correct for the particular application. Remember that the

Inverter system provides single-phase power only.

3.

The  input  circuit  breaker  in  the  input  service  panel  provides  the  means  for  disconnecting  AC  to  the  Inverter  system.
Only authorized persons shall be able to disconnect AC to the unit. (See NEC 700-20 and 700-21.) 

CAUTION:

 To prevent electrical shock

or equipment damage, for all units, the Main AC Switch, the Main DC Switch, all output circuit breakers, and the AC input at the service
panel are all off before making AC connections to the  Inverter system.

4.

If  not  previously  done,  remove  knockouts  for  AC  Input  and  AC  Output  in  the  top  or  left  side  of  the  Inverter  system
(See 

Fig. 1

 in Section 

104.4

). 

CAUTION:

 Do not drill the cabinet; drill filings may damage the unit and prevent it from operating. If

larger knockouts are needed, use a chassis punch to enlarge the appropriate knockout. Do not add additional or unnecessary knockouts.

5.

Install the input and output conduits.

6.

Run  the  AC  Input  service  conductors  and  AC  Output  conductors  through  separate  conduits.  Inverter  system  emergency
output  circuits  shall  be  installed  in  dedicated  conduit  systems  and  not  shared  with  other  electrical  circuits  as  described  in  NEC
700-9(b).

106.2 AC Input and AC Output Connections

Make all AC input and output connections to the Inverter system as indicated on the labels within the cabinet.
