5,000 Watt DC to AC Inverter by Wagan Tech

WARNING: EXPLODING BATTERIES CAN SPRAY MOLTEN LEAD, HOT SULFURIC

ACID AND PLASTIC FRAGMENTS. BATTERIES THAT ARE CHARGING OR UNDER

HIGH DISCHARGE RATES CAN PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS INTO THE

SURROUNDING AREA. BE SAFE—FUSE THE BATTERY BANK AND MAKE SURE THE

BATTERY BANK LOCATION IS PROPERLY VENTILATED.

DC CABLE GAUGE

Minimize cable losses by using the thickest insulated stranded copper wire

available, and the shortest practical length. Refer to “Appendix A” at the rear of this

manual for suggested cable gauge.

INSTALLATION—CONNECTING AN INVERTER

GENERAL INFORMATION

This inverter must be mounted in a dry, cool and dust free environment.

If installation is on a wall or bulkhead, the inverter should be mounted horizontally.

Vertical mounting allows dust and objects to fall into inverter vents.

Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage to

connectors, conductors and insulation and can cause sparking. Reverse polarity

connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and can permanently damage to the

inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will void the warranty.

NOTE: There are two sets of DC input terminals to ease cable connections and

reduce the need for larger gauge cables. No single terminal can carry more current

than described as follows:

Watts 2,500 5,000

Terminal Sets 1 2

All cables must be made of stranded, insulated copper wire. Measure the round trip

length of cable needed. Round trip is the distance from the negative battery bank

terminal to the inverter and back to the positive terminal of the battery bank. Use

a length of string and follow the route the cables will follow. Measure the length of

string and then determine the correct gauge cable required for the power level and

total distance. Appendix A has a table that relates cable length and gauge for your

inverter. Measure all terminal stud diameters that are to be connected to cables.

Obtain ring terminals that fit the cables and terminal studs. Be sure the ring terminals

can carry the current required.

GROUND TERMINAL WIRE REQUIREMENTS

Use a minimum of 6 gauge stranded wire for enclosure ground wire. Connect this

to the chassis of your vehicle or to the grounding system in your boat. In a city,

the ground wire can connect to a metal cold water pipe that goes underground. In

remote locations, the ground wire can be connected to an “earth ground”. This can
