2.0 INSTALLATION

AC Wiring

(continued)

NOTE: The U.S. requires conduit be used in this type of installation. Refer to the NEC and local

codes. Conduit fittings can be replaced with strain reliefs where code permits.

Refer to the table on the previous page for minimum recommended wire sizes.

Procedure

AC Input Wiring to Inverter

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS FROM THE INVERTER IF THEY ARE

ALREADY CONNECTED.

ALL WIRING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED OR LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.

DISCONNECT THE MAIN BREAKER AT THE MAIN UTILITY BREAKER BOX.

Install a 60 amp circuit breaker in the utility service panel. This will serve as both an AC

disconnect and over-current protection.

Feed the HOT, NEUTRAL and GROUND wires (via conduit) from the inverter to the main

utility box. Leave several inches of extra wire at each end.

Make the connections to the inverter first. Wiring to the utility breaker box is performed after

all connections have been made in the inverter.

Connect the GROUND (green) wire to the inverters AC GROUND terminal.

Connect the NEUTRAL (white) wire from the main utility panel to the inverters NEUTRAL

INPUT terminal.

Connect the HOT (black) wire from the main utility panel to the inverters AC HOT INPUT

terminal.

Torque all connections to 16 inch-pounds.
