AC Wiring

WARNING: Risk of fire
Use only on circuits provided with 20A maximum branch circuit
protection in accordance with National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
The AC wiring must meet be of sufficient size, and it must be
protected by the appropriate size and type of input breaker,
based on the jurisdiction and application. Some basic
examples are given below.
The AC input wiring for the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger
should be three-conductor cable, providing a line, neutral,
and ground conductor (or L, N,
a minimum of 75C.
For example, in North America for 120 Vac application, you
may use a 14 AWG wire with a 15 A breaker (or 12 AWG for
a 20 A breaker) or for 230 Vac application, you may be able
to use either a 2.5mm
or fuses or use 1.5 mm
or fuses. Note that every jurisdiction will have different
requirements as will each application, so research the
regulations for your local jurisdiction to determine which
wire size and type is correct. Another example:
•
•
The circuit supplying the Truecharge™ 2 Battery Charger
must be protected by the correct size and type of breaker to
meet the code for your local jurisdiction and application. If a
branch rated fuse is used, a correctly rated disconnect switch
is required ahead of the fuse so that power can be turned off,
allowing safe repair, or replacement of products on the mains
circuit.

for marine applications, the United States American
Yachting and Boating Council (ABYC) requires stranded
wire, which is more robust than solid wire when exposed
to vibration
for RV applications, the United States National Electrical
Code (NEC) allows solid wire in multi-conductor cable,
however, stranded wire is also acceptable which will
withstand vibration better.
