Fusing Requirements; Connecting The Inverter - Wagan ProLine 2007-2 User Manual

FUSING REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: It is important that this 3,000 watt inverter has the correct main battery fuse added
to the Positive (+) battery cable as close as possible to the battery bank's positive terminal.
Refer to this chart for correct size:
#2007-2 (12V DC INPUT)
ANL 400 amp fuse
The fuse amperage rating must be sized to allow simultaneous operation of all the AC
appliances to be powered, allowing for the momentary high startup current requirements
of inductive loads. Use the recommended fuse block (fuse holder) and fuse, or an
electrical equivalent. ANL type fuses and fuse holders are readily available from marine
supply dealers.
The battery protection fuse is very important to protect equipment, batteries and personnel.
The fuses protect against battery explosion if the cables that connect to the inverter
accidentally short.

DC Cable Gauge
Minimize cable losses by using the thickest wire available, and the shortest practical length.
If the inverter and the battery are positioned within four feet of each other, the following
guages of insulated copper wire should be used to make the connections. If the round trip
distance is longer than 4 feet, heavier wire will be required.
Refer to "Appendix A" at the rear of this manual for suggested cable gauge.

CONNECTING THE INVERTER

General information
Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage to connectors,
conductors, and insulation and can cause sparking. Make sure all cables are the proper
gauge and plan to have the ANL fuse holder within one foot of the battery bank's Positive
(+) terminal. All cable ends need to be stripped of insulation for approximately ¾ of an inch
to have appropriate sized ring terminals crimped onto the bare cable ends. Appropriately
sized socket wrenches should be used to carefully tighten the retaining nuts on the terminals
of the battery bank, fuse holder and DC terminals on the back panel of the inverter.
CAUTION: Reverse polarity connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and can
permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by reversed polarity will void
the warranty.
