AC Output Protection
The breaker between the
loads must be rated to protect the AC output wire size used. If
the AC output wiring is based on the full 30-amp pass-
through rating, then a 30-amp output breaker is acceptable. If
the AC output wiring is smaller, then the breaker size will
have to be smaller as well, in accordance with applicable
electrical installation codes.
GFCI Requirements
A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is a device that de
energizes a circuit when a current to ground exceeds a
specified value that is less than that required to open the
circuit breaker. GFCIs are intended to protect people from
electric shocks and are usually required in wet or damp
locations.
Installation in recreational vehicles requires GFCI protection
of certain branch circuits. Consult all applicable codes.
Tested GFCIs Compliance with UL standards requires that
the manufacturer test and recommend specific GFCIs for use
AC output and the AC
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

Disconnect Devices
Each system requires a method of disconnecting the AC
circuits. If the overcurrent 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.
