8.5.3.1 AC Output Connections for Hardwiring (PST-1500-48 only)
For connecting the AC output of PST-1500-48 to an AC Distribution Panelboard / Load
Center, separate connections are available for hard wiring. Please refer to Fig 6.1. Com-
partment (13, Fig 6.1) contains terminals for AC output. The compartment is covered by
Cover Plate (12, Fig 6.1) with the help of 4 screws. AC output connections are as follows:
Line “L” (15, Fig 6.1) and Neutral “N” (16, Fig 6.1) Terminals.
Please note that Line terminal “L” (15, Fig 6.1) of the AC Terminal Block and the Line
terminal on the Line side of the GFCI are internally connected together at the PCB.
Similarly, Neutral terminal “N” (16, Fig 6.1) on the AC Terminal Block and the Neutral
terminal on the Line side of the GFCI are internally connected together at the PCB
• Hole diameter: 4 mm / 0.16"
• Set screw: #6 (UNF, 40 Threads per Inch) or M3.5 ( Coarse Pitch 0.6 mm)
AC Ground Terminal (14, Fig 6.1)
• Stud: #6 (UNC, 32 Threads Per Inch)
Neutral to Chassis Ground Bonding
• Neutral “N” (16, Fig 6.1) is bonded to the metal chassis of the inverter through a loop of
wire connecting the “N” terminal on the Line side of the GFCI to the chassis of the inverter.
8.5.3.2 AC Output Cable Sizing & Conductor Termination for Hard-wiring
(For PST-1500-48 only)
Use 3 conductor cable with at least 90°C insulation rating. Based on the maximum output
current of 12.5A for PST-1500-48, the minimum size of each of the 3 conductors of the AC
output cable should be AWG #12. This is the minimum size recommended in NEC (2014)
Table 30.15(B)(16) for up to 20A over current protection. For firm connection when using set
screw type of terminals, use Insulated Pin Type of Terminals for termination of the Line and
Neutral conductors and Non Insulated Ring Type of Terminal for the Grounding conductor.
For convenience, the following terminals have been provided:
For Line and Neutral wires: Nylon Insulated, Cord End
Terminals for AWG #12 wire ........................................................................ 2 pieces
For Neutral wire: Non Insulated Ring Terminal for #6 stud ....................... 1 piece
Use proper crimping Tool to crimp the terminals to the bare ends of the wire. Make sure
that the connections are tight and firm. Please ensure that the AC cable is adequately
clamped by the metal Strain Relief Clamp (11, Fig 6.1). Please use the following type desig-
nation of AC cord: "SE, SEOO, ST, STO, SJ, SJEOO, SJT, or SJTO."
