Neutral earth bonding.
All of these inverters
are neutral earth bonded.
This is where the
neutral is tied to the earth terminal giving 230V
across the live and neutral (more in keeping
with the actual mains configuration) but also
230V from live to earth. This allows an RCD to
safely operate and confirm with hard wire
installation requirements on vehicles and
boats.

Installation
All electrical installations should be carried out by a professional electrician, any
doubts about installing this should be addressed to us as soon as possible. Do
not install this unit if you are not competent to do so, high voltages are involved
and have the potential to kill you. Ensure the inverter has the correct voltage
(DC and AC) and the correct power (W) for you vehicle / boat before installing.
Installation for twin socket:
1) Fit in a cool dry well ventilated space as close to the battery bank as possible.
2) Ensure at least 2 of the 5 mounting supports are screwed to the bulkhead.
3) Ensure both AC and DC cable is large enough to deal with high currents
4) Install DC cable fuse into each installation. Fuse size per unit in specification.
6) Secure the unit in position, fit DC fuse and isolation switch (not essential) as
required.
7)
Do not reverse the DC cables.
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal and the black cable to the negative terminal of the battery, reverse
polarity could destroy the unit and would not be covered under warranty.
8) The standard sockets are rated at 13A. So you should NOT attempt to pull
more than 3000W through the sockets (irrespective of which SIB model you
have). If you require more power from your 4000W or 5000W model use
Hard wired installation
Underneath the plastic flap on the AC side (13) exposes the Live Earth and
Neutral connectors for hard wiring. Fasten the appropriate 3 cables to this
connector. Ensure the AC cable thickness is appropriate for the use.
Recommended cable sizes are on the next page.
Hard wiring is appropriate to
maximise the potential of the 4000W and 5000W models, as we
recommend against pulling 3000W-5000W through the UK / Schuko
sockets.
In the event of this unit being installed into a ring main or extension power
circuit. The output voltage of this unit must never be on your AC system at
the same time as the 230V external mains line.
If the output voltage is to be
used on a ring mains system, a suitable two-pole crossover switch must be
used. Failure to do this shall result in the destruction of this unit even if switched
off - this shall not be covered under warranty.
