The inverter diagram depicts a typical AC installation. The main panel has an output breaker for the
non-inverter loads. It is used to power the high power loads beyond the inverters capacity such as a
water heater or an electric stove. A 30A AC breaker supplies power to the inverter (mandatory).
The wire supplying the inverter must be no smaller than 10AWG and have a temperature rating of
not less than 75C. Make all connections using proper crimp-on connectors (do not use twist on
connectors). The inverter output breaker should be rated at 30A. This breaker should be as close to
the inverter as possible. If this breaker is not of the RCD (Residual Current Device) type, GFCI
receptacles must be used at all AC outlets. In smaller installations you can install the optional GFCI
receptacle (part #808-9817) on the front panel of the inverter; you can then plug loads of up to 20A
directly into the inverter GFCI.
The Inverter is provided with a ground relay that automatically connects the neutral output to the
chassis if no external AC supply is available. In an RV installation, the inverter chassis must be
connected the vehicle chassis ground (via the negative distribution buss). The chassis grounding
conductor must be not less than one size smaller than the DC positive conductor and have a
capacity such that the DC positive fuse has an amperage rating not greater than 135% of the
current rating of this grounding wire. When using an inverter sub panel, the inverter neutrals must
return to the sub panel and not the main AC panel.
A warning label should be installed at the main AC panel to indicate that there is an inverter in the system.
