Step 4: Connecting the AC Input Wires

WARNING
FIRE, SHOCK, AND ENERGY HAZARDS
Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before
handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and national
electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output terminals of the
Freedom Xi to any incoming AC source.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

General AC Wiring Considerations

AC Wiring Connectors Where applicable, connect AC wires
with crimp-on splice connectors. The amount of insulation you strip
off individual wires will be specified by the connector manufacturer
and is different for different types of connectors.
AC and DC Wiring Separation Do not mix AC and DC wiring
in the same conduit or panel. Where DC and AC wires must cross,
make sure they do so at 90 to one another. Consult applicable codes
for details about DC and AC wiring in close proximity to each other.

AC Wiring and GFCIs You can plug loads, 15 amps for 1000-
watt models and 20 amps for 2000-watt models, directly into the
GFCI receptacle on the front panel of the Freedom Xi. You can also
connect the inverter to an existing AC installation and then plug
loads into GFCI receptacles connected to that circuit.
If you plan to use the Freedom Xi with the GFCI installed on the unit,
proceed to "Step 6: Connecting the DC Cables" on page 20.
AC wiring includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom Xi and all wiring between the inverter, the
AC panels, circuit breakers, and the GFCIs. The type and size of the
wiring varies with the installation and load. For some RV
applications, flexible multiple-strand wire is required.
AC wiring must be sized appropriately to carry full load current on
the input and output AC circuits in accordance with the electrical
codes or regulations applicable to your installation. Table 4 is based
on the U.S. National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical
Code, assuming two-conductor-plus-ground cable, using 75 °C
wiring, at an ambient temperature of 30 °C. Other codes and
regulations may be applicable to your installation.
