Ground Terminal
This connection is for connecting to a 6 gage insulated ground wire. Do not directly connect
this ground connection to the Negative DC terminal. This is described in the installation
procedure.
Fuse Covers
Mounted on side panels of the inverter, these Fuse Covers are for gaining access to fuses
that protect circuits internal to the inverter.
Planning the Inverter System
Any large wattage inverter system requires planning before installation. There are several
steps to the planning process so the user must determine the following:
Maximum inverter wattage required.
Operating time (run time) needed between battery recharges.
Battery bank capacity in amp-hours.
Charger requirement to charge batteries within a practical time.
Distance between battery bank and inverter.
Determining Maximum Appliance Wattage
Maximum AC appliance wattage is the first factor in planning battery and charging systems.
Some background:
Large microwave oven specifications list cooking power (watts) and appliance power.
Appliance power is the AC load the inverter has to supply.
Most other electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have labels that list the
unit’s power requirements in watts. If the tool or device is rated in amps, multiply the amps
by 115 (115VAC) to determine the watts. For example, a power tool rated at amps will
draw 60 watts. Determine the wattage of each appliance you need to simultaneously
operate. Add all of the appliance wattages to obtain an estimated “total watts” number.
Remember to consider the startup surge that motorized appliances will cause. Do not exceed
the surge rating of this inverter (6,000 watts) this can cause immediate overload shut down.
At 3,000 watts continuous output this inverter requires a DC power supply (battery bank)
that can continuously supply 300 amps at 12VDC for the duration of the run time.
