Inverter Wiring
10.1 General information about power inverters
A power inverter, or inverter, is an electrical device that changes direct current (DC) to alternating
current (AC); the converted AC can be at any required voltage and frequency with the use of
appropriate transformers, switching, and control circuits.

Warning!
Please read these instructions carefully before attempting to carry out any
installation and wiring. Contact Technical support for any questions concerning
the installation.
This equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by qualified electrical maintenance
personnel familiar with the construction and
operation of solar/electrical equipment and
the hazards involved. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in bodily injury and/or
damage to property.
10.2 Wiring instructions
Step 1: Select the right input voltage
Input voltage can be 12V/24V/48V depending
on
which products are used. It is
recommended that the inverter be powered
by a battery or battery bank, as the current
drawn from the inverter can become
extremely high.
Step 2: Connecting inverter to battery
Set the switch to OFF position (inverter and
appliances). Connect the battery cables to
their respective colors on the inverter i.e.
black cable goes to the black terminal on the
inverter, and the red cable goes to the red
terminal on the inverter.
