Page 9: Fastening
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION The WPC must be installed vertically with sufficient space around it to guarantee adequate ventilation of the device. 3.5.1 Fastening Fastening of the WPC 5000-24 First fix the mounting bracket (26) supplied with the device using 2 Ø < 6-8 mm >screws. -
Page 10: Connections
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION It is imperative to ensure complete and safe fastening of the device. A device that is simply hung may detach and cause severe damage. In motor vehicles or when the support may be subject to strong vibrations, the WPC must be mounted on anti-vibration supports. - Page 11 ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION The unit’s connection compartment must remain permanently closed when in operation. It is imperative to close the protection cap on the connection terminals after each intervention in the device. After opening, check that all sources of AC and DC voltage (batteries) have been disconnected or put out of service.

Page 14: Cabling
COMMISSIONING 4 CABLING The connection of the WPC inverter / charger is an important installation step. It may only be carried out by qualified personnel and in accordance with the applicable local regulations and standards. The installation must always comply with these standards. Pay attention that connections are completely tightened and that each wire is connected at the right place. -
Page 15: Earthing System
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION accepts no liability for damages due to non-confirming installation and to the lack of compliance with the local rules or with the recommendations of this manual. 4.2 E ARTHING SYSTEM The WPC is a protection class I unit, which is intended for cabling in a grid type TT, TN-S or TNC-S*. The earthing of the neutral conductor (E) is carried out at a sole installation point, upstream of the RCD circuit breaker (D). -
Page 16: Installation With Automatic Pe-Neutral Switching
COMMISSIONING parameter {1486}. In this case the appearance of the first fault will lead to the installation stopping or the disconnection of the protection devices upstream and/or downstream of the WPC. Safety is guaranteed by the equipotential bonding and by any RCD circuit-breakers placed downstream. This connection (C) is not permitted if a socket is installed upstream of the WPC. -
Page 17: Dimensioning The Inverter
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION The method proposed below is strictly indicative and in no way constitutes a guarantee of perfect dimensioning. The installer is solely responsible for good dimensioning and installation. 4.3.2 Dimensioning the inverter The inverter is dimensioned in such a way that the rated power output covers the power of all the consumers which will be used at the same time. - Page 18 COMMISSIONING / WPC / EN February 2020...

Page 19: Battery Cable Cross-Section And Dc Protective Devices
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 4.5.1 Battery cable cross-section and DC protective devices The battery cables must be protected by one of the following measures in all cases: - protection device (fuse) at each pole - protection device (fuse) on the pole not connected to the earth The battery cables must also be as short as possible. -
Page 20: Battery-Side Connection
One of the two battery conductors can be earthed. This may be either the positive or negative pole. However in Europe in most cases the negative conductor is grounded. This is recommended by Whisper Power. In all cases the installation must conform to the local regulations and usage or specific standards associated with the application. -
Page 21: Connecting The Ac Supply Sources
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION If the assistance function at the source (Smart Boost) is not used, the size of the protection device for the output (F) will be established at a maximum value equal to the rated current of the inverter, or at the maximum value of the protection device at the input (H) if this is exceeds the rated current of the inverter. -
Page 22: Connecting The Auto-Start Cable
COMMISSIONING Cable-glands that are not in use must be properly closed. If this instruction is not respected, the equipment loses its degree of protection (IP54) and dust or small animals may enter the equipment causing significant damage which is not covered by the warranty. 4.5.9 Connecting the communications cables The WPC is equipped with a pair of RJ45/8 connectors that allow information transfer via a communication bus for different consumer types which have the proprietary protocol of WhisperPower. -
Page 23: Powering Up The Installation
ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION 6 POWERING UP THE INSTALLATION It is imperative that the closing cap for the connection compartment be installed and screwed tight before the installation is energised. There are dangerous voltages within the interior of the connection compartment. The Power up of the WPC must be carried out in the order given below. -
