Freedom SW 230V Installation Guide
Planning the Installation
This section provides information to help you plan for a basic
installation of the Freedom SW 230V.
As your system configuration is determined, record the details
in “Information About Your System” in the
Freedom SW
230V Sine Wave Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
Two Key Performance Factors
Two key factors in particular will have a major impact on
system performance.
Size and Length of DC Cables
To select the appropriate size and length of DC cables, see
“DC Cabling” on page 14.
The DC cables should be as short as possible and large
enough to handle the required current, in accordance with the
electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation.
If there are long battery cables which are in excess of 3 meters
each and not of sufficient size, the voltage drop across the
cables will have a negative impact on overall system
performance.
Mounting Location of the Freedom SW 230V
To choose an appropriate location for mounting the inverter/
charger, see “Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/
Charger” on page 19.
