Basic Installation Procedures

solid or stranded, overall size of the conductors, and type and
temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.
AC breakers and fuses must be sized to adequately protect the
wiring that is installed on the input and output AC circuits of the
Freedom X. All breakers and wiring must be sized and connected
in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to
your installation.
Table 5 gives some examples of wiring sizes
based on the U.S. National Electrical Code and the Canadian
Electrical Code. These examples are based on using a two-
conductor-plus-ground cable rated at 75
° C, and assuming an
ambient temperature of up to 30 ° C. Ensure that your breakers and
fuses have suitable temperature ratings for your wiring. Other
codes and regulations may also be applicable to your installation.

AC Output Neutral Bonding
The neutral conductor of the Freedom X’s AC output circuit (that
is, AC Output Neutral) is automatically connected to the safety
ground during inverter operation. When AC utility power is present
this connection is not present, so that the utility neutral (that is,
AC Input Neutral) is only connected to utility ground at your
source. This conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC),
which requires that separately derived AC sources (such as
inverters and generators) have their neutral conductors tied to
ground in the same way that the neutral conductor from the utility
is tied to ground in only one place. Check the regulations for your
specific application to ensure that the installation will comply with
the necessary requirements. In other words, the AC Input Neutral
ground bonding and Output Neutral ground bonding must be
isolated from each other.
AC Grounding
As per UL458 SA29.5, for all permanently connected marine
inverters: The Freedom X should be connected to a grounded,
metal, permanent wiring system. Also, make sure that an AC
ground wire is connected to the AC ground terminal on the unit. Do
not just connect the line and neutral wires.
All connections to the unit should comply with all local codes and
ordinances.
