small the voltage drop from this surge will result in a voltage at the
Freedom X terminals that is too low for the Freedom X to operate
correctly. The Freedom X may appear to operate correctly with
smaller cables until a heavy load such as a microwave or
refrigerator attempts to start - then the unit may work correctly
sometimes and not work correctly other times.
DC Disconnects and Over-Current Devices
The DC circuit from the battery to the Freedom X must be
equipped with a disconnect and over-current device. This usually
consists of a circuit breaker, a “fused-disconnect”, or a separate
fuse and DC disconnect.
Do not confuse AC circuit breakers
with DC circuit breakers. They are not interchangeable. The
rating of the fuse or breaker must be matched to the size of cables
used in accordance with the applicable installation codes. The
breaker or disconnect and fuse should be located as close as
possible to the battery, in the positive cable. Applicable codes
may limit how far the protection can be from the battery.
Batteries
The Freedom X uses 12-volt battery banks typically, or 24-volt
battery banks for the 24VDC model. Every Freedom X system is
recommended to have a deep-cycle battery or group of batteries
with a total capacity of 100 Ah or more which provides the DC
current that the Freedom X converts to AC.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)
A GFCI is a device that de-energizes a circuit when a current to
ground exceeds a specified value that is less than that required to
blow the circuit breaker. GFCIs are intended to protect people
from electric shocks and are usually required in wet or damp
locations.
Installations in marine and recreational vehicles require GFCI
protection of branch circuits connected to the AC output of the
Freedom X.
The Freedom X GFCI Kit (PN: 808-9817) (sold separately) option
is available to use with the Freedom X inverter unit.
