Disconnect
Devices
Each system requires a method of
disconnecting the AC circuits. If the over-
current protection devices are circuit breakers,
they will also serve as the disconnects. If fuses
are used, separate AC disconnect switches will
be needed ahead of the fuses. These will have
to be a branch circuit rated for 120 volts AC and
have an appropriate current rating.
AC Distribution Panels
Most systems incorporate distribution centers both ahead of the
Freedom X (the AC source panel) and between the Freedom X
and the loads (the AC load panel). An AC source panel includes a
main circuit breaker, which serves as over-current protection and
as a disconnect for the AC shore power supply line. Additional
circuit breakers serve individual circuits, one of which serves the
Freedom X. The AC load panel can incorporate an AC output
circuit breaker and breakers for individual load circuits.
NOTICE
RISK OF INVERTER DAMAGE
Do not connect the Freedom X to a 120/240V, 3-pole, 4-wire circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
AC Cabling
AC cabling includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom X, as well as all cabling between the
Freedom X and the AC output panels, circuit breakers, and loads.
The type and size of the wiring varies with the installation and
load. For example, in high vibration environments, such as marine
or RV applications, wire nuts may not be acceptable, so crimp
splices would be required. In other applications, flexible multiple-
strand wire may be required. Installation codes usually specify
