Planning Preparations
Distribution Panels
Some systems incorporate distribution panels both ahead of
the inverter/charger (the AC source panel) and between the
inverter/charger and the loads (the AC load panel). The AC
source panel includes a main circuit breaker, which serves as
overcurrent protection for the panel. Additional circuit
breakers serve individual circuits, one of which serves the
inverter/charger.
AC Wiring
Definition
AC wiring includes input wiring (all the wires
and connectors between the AC source and the inverter/
charger input) and output wiring (all the wires between the
inverter/charger and the AC load panels, circuit breakers, and
loads).
Type
The type of wiring required varies according to the
electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation.
For RV applications, this may be solid wire in multi-
conductor cables, but stranded wire is required if single
conductors are used. All wiring must be rated 75 °C or higher.
Size of AC Input Wiring
Wire size must be coordinated
with the overcurrent protection provided ahead of the wire
involved, in accordance with the electrical codes or
regulations applicable to your installation. Therefore, the
wiring used between the AC input circuit breaker and the
inverter/charger input must be sized to match the input
breaker rating.
