This section provides procedures for making AC and DC connections between the XW
Inverter/Charger and the power distribution panel using the cables that are pre-installed in
the distribution panel. This section also assumes that the XW Conduit Box was installed
in the previous section.
For diagrams and information about installing the inverter/charger without the XW
Conduit Box and XW Power Distribution Panel, see Appendix C.
Important: Communication and signal cables must be segregated from all DC and AC wiring.
Therefore, a small raceway has been included in the design of both the XW Power Distribution
Panel and the XW Conduit Box to separate the communications cables from the power cables. This
is a small raceway run built into the bottom of both the XW Power Distribution Panel and the XW
Conduit Box and is held in place by a single screw at the top of the raceway.
Before making the AC or DC cable connections, route the communications cables through
the raceway, but do not connect them to their components until after all the inverter
connections are made. Once the AC and DC connections are made the run becomes
difficult to access. Use different colors for the communications cables (or cable tags) to
help make them easier to identify.
IMPORTANT: When routing communications cables through the XW
Power Distribution Panel, the raceway conduit must be used to keep the
communications cables separate from the power cables.
*To remove, remove the screws at
the top (Or side) of the raceway.
