AC INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Do not connect another source of AC power
directly to the AC output of the inverter. This will
result in damage not covered under warranty.
GFCI:
A 20A GFCI is installed into the side of the inverter, except for "H" suffix
hardwire only versions where it is omitted. The rated output of the inverter is
12.5A. If a 20A load is applied to the GFCI, the 15A AC output breaker
installed on a 12LP15 inverter only will eventually trip. The 12LPC15 allows for
20A of bypass current, so a 20A breaker is used. If 20A of load is connected to
the inverter or inverter/charger while in inverter mode, the inverter will shut
down in overload.
Hardwire Interface:
Remove the cover for hardwire AC wiring. Insert AC input and output wiring
through the AC Output cable clamps to protect the wires from the metal edge of
the hole. Connect the AC wiring to the provided internal terminal blocks. Be
sure to connect the AC input wiring to the AC input terminal blocks, and the
AC output wiring to the AC output terminal blocks. The AC terminal block
will accept 14-8 AWG wire. Proper torque for the AC terminal blocks is 10lbs.-
in. The 12LP15 should use 14AWG minimum for the AC output. The
12LPC15 should use 12AWG minimum for the AC input and AC output.
Connect the hot wires to the black terminal, the neutral to the white terminal,
and the ground to the green terminal.
