Step 4: Connecting the AC Input Wires
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK AND FIRE 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 1200 to any incoming AC source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
General AC Wiring Considerations
The AC input terminal is located inside the unit through the AC
panel’s ½" trade-size hole and is labeled properly as
AC IN
or
AC
INPUT
. The unit comes with spring clamp-type terminals where
individual wires can be attached securely.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Make sure the wires are connected properly. The AC wiring
terminal blocks are split into input and output sections.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
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 12 amps continuous or 15 amps maximum
directly into the customer-supplied GFCI receptacle on the front
panel of the Freedom X 1200. 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 1200 with a customer-supplied
GFCI receptacle installed on the unit, proceed to
.
AC wiring includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom X 1200 and all wiring between the
inverter, the AC panels, GFCI, and circuit breakers. The type and
size of the wiring varies with the installation and load. For some
RV applications, flexible multiple-strand copper wire is required.
