Basic Installation Procedures
Step 4: Connecting the AC Input Wires
General AC Wiring Considerations
AC Wiring Connectors Where applicable, connect AC wires
with crimp-on splice connectors. The amount of insulation you strip
off individual wires will be specified by the connector manufacturer
and is different for different types of connectors.
AC and DC Wiring Separation Do not mix AC and DC wiring
in the same conduit or panel. Where DC and AC wires must cross,
make sure they do so at 90

to one another. Consult applicable codes
for details about DC and AC wiring in close proximity to each other.
AC Wiring and GFCIs You can plug loads of 15 amps directly
into the customer-supplied GFCI receptacle on the front panel of the
Freedom X. If installed, you can also connect the inverter to an
existing AC installation and then plug loads into GFCI receptacles
connected to that circuit.
If you plan to use the Freedom X with a customer-supplied GFCI
installed on the unit, proceed to “Step 6: Connecting the DC Cables”
on page 26.
AC wiring includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom X and all wiring between the inverter, the
AC panels, circuit breakers, and the GFCIs. The type and size of the
wiring varies with the installation and load. For some RV
applications, flexible multiple-strand wire is required.

WARNING
FIRE, SHOCK, AND ENERGY HAZARDS
Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before
handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and national
electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output terminals of the
Freedom X to any incoming AC source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.
