- Page 6 GENERAL INFORMATION Personal Safety Use safe lifting techniques when lifting this equipment as recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) or other local codes. Use standard safety equipment when working on this equipment, such as safety glasses, ear protection, steel- toed safety boots, safety hard hats, etc.
- Page 7 GENERAL INFORMATION Equipment Safety Review the system configuration to identify all possible sources of energy. Ensure ALL sources of power are disconnected before performing any installation or maintenance on this equipment. Confirm that the terminals are de-energized using a validated voltmeter (rated for a minimum 1000 VAC and 1000 VDC) to verify the de energized condition.
- Page 8 GENERAL INFORMATION Battery Safety Ensure the cables (conductors) are properly sized. Ensure clearance requirements are strictly enforced around the batteries. Ensure the area around the batteries is well ventilated and clean of debris. Never smoke, or allow a spark or flame near, the batteries. WARNING! Always use insulated tools.
- Page 9 Use the battery types recommended by Go Power!. Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for installation and maintenance. Insulate batteries as appropriate against freezing temperatures. A discharged battery will freeze more easily than a charged one. If a remote or automatic generator control system is used, disable the starting circuit and/or disconnect the generator from its starting battery while performing maintenance to prevent accidental starting.

Page 20: Mounting Requirements
Make sure the GP-SW1500TS is installed in a location where the normal air temperature is between -20°C and 40°C. The cooler the better within this range. 2. MOISTURE Do not allow water or other fluids to come into contact with the GP-SW1500TS. Do not expose to rain, snow or water. 3. VENTILATION For optimum Inverter performance the GP-SW1500TS must be installed so the front and rear air vents are not blocked or obstructed in any way. - Page 21 INSTALLATION HORIZONTAL MOUNT, BASE DOWN VERTICAL MOUNT, DO NOT MOUNT THE GP-SW1500TS IN THIS CONFIGURATION gpelectric.com | [page 21]...

Page 22: Dc Wiring
The following points must be observed for the DC Wiring. • The DC positive and negative cables connected to the GP-SW1500TS from the battery bank should be linked together with zip ties or electrical tape every 6”. This helps to reduce radio frequency interference and reduces the effects of inductance both of which improve the Inverter waveform and reduces the wear of the Inverters filter capacitors. -
Page 23: Dc Wiring Sizing
INSTALLATION 3.3.1 DC WIRING SIZING The distance between the battery bank and the GP-SW1500TS should be as short as possible to achieve maximum efficiency and to reduce fire hazards. The size of the cable should be thick enough to limit the voltage drop to less than 2% when carrying the maximum input current to prevent frequent low-input voltage warnings and shutdown. -
Page 24: Preparing The Dc Cables
INSTALLATION 3.3.3 PREPARING THE DC CABLES Go Power! supplies 2 ring lugs with the GP-SW1500TS which can be used for the Inverter end of the DC Cables. Source the correct ring terminals for the batteries you are using. • Cut the negative and positive cables to the required length. -
Page 25: Wiring The Inverter To The Batteries
DC and AC wiring is complete and the AC overcurrent protection has been installed. The GP-SW1500TS comes in a 12V version only, so the battery bank must be wired in series, parallel, or series-parallel to provide the correct voltage: 12V. The interconnecting wires between the individual batteries must be sized and rated exactly the same as those used between the battery bank and Inverter. -
Page 26: Ac Wiring
INSTALLATION AC WIRING The cables linking the GP-SW1500TS to the appliances are the AC cables. The following points must be observed for the AC Wiring • A branch rated over current protection at the time of installation shall be provided by others for the AC output circuit. -
Page 27: Hard-Wire Installation
INSTALLATION 3.4.2 HARD-WIRE INSTALLATION GP-SW1500TS provides the flexibility of hard-wire connection, and this function will make external control panel wiring easier. • Step 1 - Use a screwdriver to remove the cover. • Step 2. Pass the AC cable pass through the cable gland. Wire the AC cable on the terminal. - Page 28 AC INPUT / L AC INPUT / N INSTALLATION AC OUTPUT / N AC OUTPUT / L AC OUTPUT GND CAUTION! It is advised that all the electrical installation should conform to the local electrical codes and should be carried out by a certified technician.

Page 29: Ac Output And Terminals Of The Gp-Sw1500Ts
Compliance with UL standards requires that Go Power! test and recommend specific GFCIs for use on the AC output of the GP-SW1500TS. GFCIs shall be installed in the AC output wiring system to protect all branch circuits. A GFCI is a device that de–energizes a circuit when a current exceeds a specified value that is less than that required to open the circuit breaker. -
