Planning Preparations
This guide for use by qualified installers only.
AC Input Protection
The breaker protecting the AC input of the Freedom SW
230V must be approved for use on 230 volts AC branch
circuit. The breaker must be rated no more than 30 amps
maximum.
AC Output Protection
The breaker between the Freedom SW 230V AC output and
the AC loads must be rated to protect the AC output wire size
used. If the AC output wiring is based on the full 30-amp
pass-through rating, then a 30-amp output breaker is
acceptable. If the AC output wiring is smaller, then the
breaker size will have to be smaller as well, in accordance
with applicable electrical installation codes.
GFCI Requirements
A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is a device that de-
energizes a circuit when a current to ground exceeds a
specified value that is less than that required to open the
circuit breaker. GFCIs are intended to protect people from
electric shocks and are usually required in wet or damp
locations.
Installation in recreational vehicles may require GFCI
protection of certain branch circuits. Consult all applicable
codes.
Disconnect Devices
Each system requires a method of disconnecting the AC
circuits. If the overcurrent protection device is a circuit
breaker, it will also serve as the disconnect. If fuses are used,
separate AC disconnect switches will be needed between the
source and the fuses.
