Inverter Installation
This section describes general installation instructions for the XPower
Inverter 1000.
Installation Code
In residential applications, electrical codes do not allow permanent
connection of AC distribution wiring to the inverter’s GFCI-protected AC
output receptacles. The receptacles are intended for temporary (as-needed)
connection of cord connected loads only.
Prepare for Installation
• Design your power system.
• Calculate your battery requirements.
• Choose an effective charging system.
• Choose an appropriate location.
• Purchase cables for DC input and ground.
• Select the correct fuses (or circuit breakers).
IMPORTANT:
Use a qualified installer if you do not possess the knowledge
and skill necessary to follow these general instructions. In addition, a
qualified installer such as a licensed electrician, knows all national and
local electrical codes and specific installation codes that may apply to your
power system design.
