    2. SAFETY INSTRUCTION POSITIONING 2.1.1 Do not put the Inverter on a rugged or inclined surface. 2.1.2 Do not install the Inverter near water or in damp environments. 2.1.3 Do not install the Inverter where it would be exposed to direct sunlight. 2.1.4 Keep the Inverter far away from heat emitting sources.
  • Page 5 – Connect to Chassis Earth. The Microcare inverter is designed primarily for Grid / Mains connection to include charging. When Mains is connected to the inverter the Neutral connection is Earthed via the Mains. If the Inverter is connected as a stand-alone inverter with no Mains Connection, The Neutral is required to be earthed using an earth spike.
  • Page 6 2.3.5 Inverter Neutral Connection The inverter has a floating neutral so the neutral voltage will be close to 110v. In this case the live voltage with respect to the earth will also be around 110v. If you use your inverter for a standalone application you need to bridge the neutral input with the earth terminal on the inverter (these two are next to each other for this purpose).
