Tested GFCIs
Compliance with UL standards requires that Xantrex test and recommend specific
GFCIs for use on the output of the inverter. Table 1 lists models that have been
tested and will function properly when connected to the AC output of the RS3000.
Disconnect Devices
Each system requires a method of disconnecting the AC circuits. If the over-
current protection device is a circuit breaker, it will also serve as the disconnect. If
fuses are used, separate AC disconnect switches will be needed between the
source and the fuses.
Distribution Panels
Some systems incorporate distribution panels both ahead of the inverter/charger
(the AC source panel) and between the inverter/charger and the loads (the AC
load panel). The AC source panel includes a main circuit breaker, which serves as
over-current protection for the panel. Additional circuit breakers serve individual
circuits, one of which serves the inverter/charger.
AC Wiring
Definition AC wiring includes input wiring (all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the inverter/charger input) and output wiring (all the wires between the
inverter/charger and the AC load panels, circuit breakers, and loads).
Type The type of wiring required varies according to the electrical codes or regulations
applicable to your installation. For RV applications, this may be solid wire in
multi-conductor cables, but stranded wire is required if single conductors are
used. All wiring must be rated 90 °C or higher.
