NEGATIVE DC (−) INPUT AND POSITIVE DC (+) INPUT TERMINALS

Both negative terminals are wired together inside the inverter. Similarly, both positive

terminals are wired together inside the inverter. For AC loads up to 2,500 watts only

one positive and one negative cable set is required. For AC loads from 2,500 to

5,000 watts use two sets of cables.

After DC cables are installed, both sets of DC terminals should be insulated to

protect from accidental short circuits.

GROUND TERMINAL

This terminal is for attaching a 6 gauge insulated safety ground wire. This safety

wire protects personnel if there is an unlikely failure in either the cabling or

enclosure insulation. Do not directly connect this ground to any negative DC terminal

on the inverter. This safety wire is to be connected to the vehicle frame or earth

ground or negative battery terminal as described in the installation procedure.

PLANNING THE INVERTER SYSTEM

Any large wattage inverter system requires planning before installation. There are

several steps to the planning process so the user must determine the following:

• Maximum inverter wattage required.

• Operating time (run time) needed between battery recharges.

• Battery bank capacity in amp-hours.

• Charger requirement to charge batteries within a practical time.

• Distance between battery bank and inverter.

DETERMINING MAXIMUM APPLIANCE WATTAGE

Maximum AC appliance wattage is the first factor in planning battery and

charging systems.

SOME BACKGROUND:

Large microwave oven specifications list cooking power (watts) and appliance

power. Appliance power is the AC load the inverter has to supply.

Most other electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have labels that

list the unit’s power requirements in watts. If the tool or device is rated in amps,

multiply the amps by 115 (115V AC) to determine the watts. For example, a power

tool rated at 4 amps will draw 460 watts. Determine the wattage of each appliance

you need to simultaneously operate. Add all of the appliance wattages to obtain

an estimated “total watts” number. Remember to consider the startup surge that

motorized appliances will cause. Do not exceed the surge rating of this inverter

(10,000 watts) this can cause immediate overload shut down.
