4.4 Connecting the AC Wiring
The following table lists the standard AC wire color codes and the ring
terminal color code required to terminate the wires inside the Truecharge.
Use only wire that meets local and national AC wiring codes. The Truecharge
is designed to operate from a grounded (3-wire) 120 volt AC circuit. The
circuit must be protected by a 15 ampere circuit breaker, and any switch
placed in series to switch AC power to the Truecharge must be in the “line”
side of the circuit and must be rated for a minimum of 3 amperes.
Connect the AC wiring as follows. Refer also to Figure 1.
1. Run three 14 or 16 AWG wires, one of each color listed in Table 2, or
an approved jacketed cable from the charger to the AC power source
or AC distribution panel, and fasten neatly in place. Do not connect
wires yet. Follow local code(s) regarding the use of conduit, wire loom
or other wiring protection.
2. Insert the AC wires through the right hand wire clamp (previously
installed in step 2, Section 4.3) and trim the wires so about 6" (15 cm)
of length protrudes inside the Truecharge wiring compartment.
3. Strip 5/16" (8 mm) of insulation from wire ends, and crimp a ring terminal
to each wire using the correct crimping tool recommended by the crimp
terminal manufacturer. Use the correct size (color code) of ring terminal
specified in Table 2.
4. Remove the 3 unused terminal block screws in the “AC Input”
compartment. Using these screws, fasten the ring terminals attached
to the Black “hot” wire to the “
L
” terminal, the White “neutral” wire to the
Warning:
Shock hazard. AC wiring must be disconnected from all
electrical sources before handling. All AC wiring must be installed
according to local and national electrical wiring codes. Xantrex
recommends having the installation wired by a certified electrician.
