Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI)
：
Installations in Recreational Vehicles (for North American approvals) will
require GFCI protection of all branch circuit connected to the AC output of
the hardwire terminal equipped Inverter. In addition, electrical codes
require GFCI protection of certain receptacles in residential installations.
While the pure sine wave output of the Inverter is equivalent to the
waveform provided by utilities, compliance with UL standards requires us to
test and recommend specific GFCI.
Cotek has tested the following GFCI – protected 20A receptacles and found
that they functioned properly when connected to the output of the Inverter.
WARNING!
Do not operate the power inverter without connecting
it to ground.
Electrical shock hazard may result.
3-6. Making DC Wiring Connections
：
Follow this procedure to connect the battery cables to the DC input terminals
on the Inverter. Your cables should be as short as possible ( ideally,
less than 10 feet / 3 meters ) and large enough to handle the required
current in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to
your installation.
Cables that are not an adequate gauge (too narrow) or are too long will
cause decreased inverter performance such as poor surge capability and
frequent low input voltage warnings and shutdowns.
These low input voltage warnings are due to DC voltage drop across the
cables from the inverter to the batteries.
The linger and narrower these cables, the greater the voltage drop.
WARNING!
The installation of a fuse must be on positive cable.
Failure to place a fuse on “+” cables running between
the inverter and battery may cause damage to the
inverter and will void warranty.
