5.3 Wiring the AC Output
This subsection provides complete, step-by-step procedures for wiring the AC output
from the Digiwatts unit to the utility grid.
5.3.1 AC Connection Requirement
WARNING!
All electrical installations must be done in accordance with all local electrical
codes and with the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70.
Use #10
AWG, 105°C, copper wire for all AC wiring connections to the Digiwatts.
Voltage drop and other considerations may dictate that larger size wires be
used
.
Use only solid or stranded wire but not fine stranded wire.
WARNING!
The National Electrical Code (NEC) states that the inverter must be
connected to a dedicated circuit, and that no other outlets or devices can be
connected to the same circuit.
See NEC Section 690-64(b) (1).
The NEC
also imposes limitations on the size of the inverter and the manner in which it
is connected to the utility grid. See NEC Section 690-64(b)(2).
