result in electrical shock. At the factory, the negative DC terminals are also electrically connected
to the ground terminal.
5. Locate the cable/terminal insulating boots. Slide the boot on the cable before stripping the
insulator and installing the ring connector.
NOTE: Ring connectors are required to fasten cables to the inverter’s Positive and Negative DC
terminals. The cable ends need to be stripped of insulation for approximately three-quarters of
an inch before the ring terminals are attached. Be sure that the cable connector covers are on the
cable so they can be reinstalled after the cables are connected.
6. Use a hex head wrench to loosen and remove the retaining nut on the terminal. Insert the
Negative cable ring terminal on the threaded bolt of the terminal. Replace the retaining nut and
tighten using the wrench. Make sure you have a good, secure connection.
7. Recheck and make sure the DC cable fuses are installed in the fuse holders.
CHARGING THE BATTERY BANK
General Information
It is not the purpose of this Inverter User’s guide to provide detailed information regarding battery
charging systems. However, the user should try to augment any charging system with either
wind power or solar power. These can continue to operate during power outages and they also
recharge time.
Regular Loss Of Commercial Power
It is not the purpose of this Inverter User’s guide to provide detailed information regarding battery
charging systems. However, the user should try to augment any charging system with either
wind power or solar power. These can continue to operate during power outages and they also
recharge time.
If the inverter system is used during commercial power outages that occur daily, configure
the charger system to replace energy during the time that commercial power is available.
Replacement of battery energy always requires more than was taken from the battery typically
130 percent. In the example used earlier in this document, the AC load ran for 10 hours. If
commercial power is available, there are approximately 14 hours left in the day to do the
recharging. The following is an example of what is necessary to recharge a battery bank that
has 1,650 AH of capacity (as in the example above) and has been discharged to 10.5 volts
(discharged). The charger has to replace 2,145 AH (1,650 x 1.3 AH) in 14 hours. So the charger
must charge at a rate of 153 amps for 14 hours. As this charge current is distributed among
the batteries in the battery bank, the current received by an individual battery is within its
charge rating. Be sure that the battery is well vented as the area will likely have accumulations
of an explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. Follow all recommendations for use that are
contained in the battery charger manual. If commercial automatic battery chargers do not
have the capacity to fully recharge the battery bank within the required time, investigate using
more than one automatic charger. Seek an expert to avoid charging too quickly and risking
overheating the batteries.
