Planning the Installation
This section provides information to help you plan for a basic installation of the
RS2000.
As your system configuration is determined, record the details in Information
About Your System on page WA-4 of the
RS2000 Sine Wave Inverter/Charger
Operation Guide
.
Two Key Performance Factors
Two key factors in particular will have a major impact on system performance.
Size and Length of DC Cables
To select the appropriate size and length of DC cables, see “DC Cabling” on
page 11.
The DC cables should be as short as possible and large enough to handle the
required current, in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable
to your installation. If there are long battery cables which are in excess of 10 feet
each (10 feet for the positive cable and 10 feet for the negative cable) and not of
sufficient size, the voltage drop across the cables will have a negative impact on
overall system performance.
Mounting Location of the RS2000
To choose an appropriate location for mounting the inverter/charger, see
“Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/Charger” on page 17.
