Page 13: Ac Wiring
When installing DC cables, the following are recommendations: Battery positive and negative cables should be as close to the battery as possible to minimize voltage loss and other possible effects. Tie, tape, or twist cables together to reduce self-inductance. Install all overcurrent devices on the positive cable. Model Recommended Fusing Recommended Wire Sizing... -
Page 14: Automatic Neutral-To-Ground Bond Switching
Be careful of the positive and negative poles. Reversing the poles might cause CAUTION permanent damage to the inverter. It will surely blow the internal fuse. Damage to the Renogy inverters due to reverse polarity is NOT covered by warranty. NOTE... - Page 15 The input terminals of the inverters have large capacitors connected to them. Once a NOTE positive and negative wire are connected to the terminals, it will complete the circuit, and commence drawing a heavy current momentarily. As a result, there may be a sparking occurring even if the inverter is in the off position.

Page 16: Automatic Transfer Relay
Automatic Transfer Relay The PCL inverter chargers are equipped with a 30A transfer relay switch that switches between Inverter and Standby mode depending on availability of AC input power. If AC is present, the transfer relay bypasses up to 30A of the incoming AC power through the inverter to power the AC loads on the inverter’s output. -
