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 XC to any incoming AC source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage
.
General AC Wiring Considerations
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 up to 20 amps directly into the GFCI
receptacle on the front panel of the Freedom XC. 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 XC GFCI kit on the unit, proceed to
General AC Wiring Considerations on page 25 .
AC wiring includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom XC and all wiring between the
inverter/charger, 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.
