Inverter Installation
This section describes general installation instructions for the XPower
Inverter 1500 .
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.
