Step 3: Connecting the AC Input and AC Output Wires
General AC Wiring Considerations
AC and DC Wiring Separation Do not mix AC and DC wiring in the same
conduit or panel. Consult the applicable installation code for details about DC
wiring and AC wiring in vicinity to each other.
AC Input and Output Isolation The AC input and output circuits of this
inverter/charger are isolated from each other when in invert mode to ensure safe
operation. This isolation must be maintained in the installation, by being sure not
to connect AC input and output wiring to a common point. For example, do not
route the AC input and output neutrals to a common neutral bus.
AC Wiring Compartment For your reference, the AC wiring compartment is
shown in Figure 5 on page 22.
AC Knockouts There are two 3/4" trade-size knockouts on the front panel for
AC wiring. For easier wiring access, there are also 1" trade-size knockouts on
either side of the unit (not shown). Use the same trade size of strain relief as the
trade size of the knockout(s) you are using.
AC Wiring Terminals The AC wiring terminals accept cables of a specific
size. See “AC Wiring” on page 10 for required sizes.
WARNING: Fire, shock, and energy hazards
Make sure wiring being connected to the inverter/charger is disconnected (physically or
by opening the breaker) from all electrical sources before handling. All wiring must be
done in accordance with local and national electrical wiring codes.
