Basic Installation Procedures
26 Freedom XC Owner's Guide
AC wiring must be sized appropriately using conductors with
insulation rated at least 75 °C to carry full load current on the input
and output AC circuits in accordance with the electrical codes or
regulations applicable to your installation.
Table 8 is based on the
U.S. National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical Code,
assuming two-conductor-plus-ground cable, using 75 °C wiring, at
an ambient temperature of 30 °C. Other codes and regulations
may be applicable to your installation.

NOTICE
REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE
Make sure the wires are connected properly. Improper connections
(connecting a line conductor to a neutral conductor, for example)
will cause the Freedom XC to malfunction and may permanently
damage the inverter/charger. Damage caused by a reverse polarity
connection is not covered by your warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment
damage.
Wiring Knockouts
When installing wires to the AC terminals, the AC input and output
holes are provided to accommodate ½" trade-size (approximately
13mm) strain relief clamps.
