PSE-24275A is also provided with a separate plate which has a NEMA 5-15R receptacle
wired through a 15 A beaker. This plate with the receptacle and breaker fits in the pocket
through which the output conductors exit the inverter. The NEMA 5-15R receptacle can be
connected to the three output conductors if the AC power output is required to be drawn from
the front panel of the inverter.
Please note that the NEMA 5-15R receptacle is wired
through a 15 A breaker and hence, the power delivered from this receptacle will be
limited to 1500 watts only.
CAUTION! :
The white current carrying conductor is not bonded to the metal chassis of the inverter.
Hence, when the metal chassis of the inverter is connected to the earth ground, this white current
carrying conductor will not be grounded to the earth ground. The white conductor is, therefore, not a
“neutral”. Do not touch this conductor as it will be at an elevated voltage with respect to the metal
chassis / earth ground and may produce electrical shock
Grounding of PSE-24125A / PSE-24275A to earth or to other designated ground
For safety, the metal chassis of the inverter is required to be grounded to the earth ground or
to the other designated ground (For example, in a mobile RV, the metal frame of the RV is
normally designated as the negative DC ground). An equipment grounding bolt with a wing
nut has been provided for grounding the metal chassis of the inverter to the appropriate
ground.
When using the inverter in a building, connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper wire
from the above equipment grounding bolt to the earth ground connection ( a connection that
connects to the ground rod or to the water pipe or to another connection that is solidly
bonded to the earth ground ). The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star
washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
When using the inverter in a mobile RV, connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper wire
from the above equipment grounding bolt to the appropriate ground bus of the RV (usually
the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus ). The connections must be tight against
bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
Grounding of PSE-24275A to earth or to other designated ground
In case of hard wiring of the PSE-24275A inverter to a building’s service entrance /electrical
breaker panel / load center, proper grounding and bonding have to be undertaken as per the
applicable national / local electrical codes. In such cases, the electrical installation should be
undertaken by a qualified electrician.
When using these inverters independently by connecting the provided plate with NEMA 5-
15R receptacle and breaker to their front panel, these should be grounded as in the case of
PSE-24125A and PSE-24175A i.e. connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper wire from
the equipment grounding bolt to the earth ground connection ( a connection that connects to
the ground rod or to the water pipe or to another connection that is solidly bonded to the earth
ground ). The connections must be tight against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate
paint and corrosion.
When using these inverters in a mobile RV, connect a # 8 AWG insulated stranded copper
wire from the equipment grounding bolt to the appropriate ground bus of the RV ( usually
the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus ). The connections must be tight against
