Properly grounding your inverter to the vehicle CHASSIS is absolutely essential for
trouble free operation.
•
Shorter and fatter is better! Keep your wiring and cabling as short as reasonably
possible. When selecting wire and cable gauges, err on the side of larger diameter
rather than smaller. Your inverter’s manual should have a cable size & length vs. current
load chart included. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
The instructions included with your inverter should also include ‘supply side power’
wiring diagrams detailing wire/cable routing for several different configurations, i.e.,
one battery, two batteries, etc. Again, follow the inverter manufacturer’s
recommendations.
•
It is possible to power your inverter using the vehicle starting battery but is not
advisable. An auxiliary battery system is recommended.
•
Use the best deep cycle batteries for your auxiliary battery system that you can afford.
Commercial golf cart batteries give the best performance and longest life.
•
Upgrade your alternator to a higher output unit.
•
When using the vehicle’s alternator to charge the auxiliary battery system, it is always
best to isolate the auxiliary batteries from the starting battery with either a mechanical
or solid state isolator to prevent draining the vehicle’s starting battery. This should be
covered in the inverter manufacturer’s instructions as well.
•
Always use fuses where applicable! Don’t burn your rig to the ground because you
didn’t think you needed a fuse!
•
Remove any paint, under coating, dirt, etc., from connection surfaces before securing
the connection. Establish clean, solid, and reliable connections.
•
Double check all of your connections to make sure they are solid and secure. Check
them periodically to make sure they remain tight.
Follow these tips and the inverter manufacturer’s instructions and you’ll be rewarded with a
long lasting, trouble free system.
