Installation Option #1 for Freedom 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30
The inverter is used in a Single Input / Single Output mode. Up to 30 Amps is transferred
through the Freedom unit with the charger sharing power with all of the AC loads.
In this installation example, a single 30 Amp shorepower source is available and all AC loads are
supplied power through the inverter in charge/transfer mode, or by the inverter in invert mode.
The charger shares power with the AC loads and can transfer up to 30 Amps. When installing a
Freedom 20 D/D, 25 D/D or 30 D/D model, AC Input #2 and AC Output #2 wires are not used
and must be capped off. The AC input power must be supplied through a 30 Amp branch rated
main breaker.
In this type of a system the panel loads would normally
not
include any heavy loads such as
space heaters, stove, water heaters, air conditioners, AC to DC converters, or other battery
chargers. If these types of loads are present, they should be turned OFF when inverter power is
being used to prevent overloading the inverter or rapidly discharging the battery bank. To avoid
the need for this manual form of energy management, installation option #2, #3, #4, or 5 should
be considered.
If a generator is installed in the system, a break-before-make AC transfer switch is used to
select between shore or generator power. The transfer switch AC output is then routed to the
input of the inverter/charger.
