AC Shore Power
A source of 230 VV 50Hz sine wave alternating current provides
energy to pass power through to AC loads. This source is usually
the utility grid (power company) or an AC generator. An automatic
or manual AC source selector switch can be used to switch
between the multiple sources of shore power to the Freedom XC
system.
The AC source feeding the Freedom XC may have the neutral
conductor floating, meaning isolated from earth potential. See AC
Output Neutral Floating on page 21 for more information.
NOTE: Throughout this guide, the term "shore power" refers to AC
input power from a utility grid, generator, or other AC source.

AC Disconnect and Over-Current
Protection Device
Most safety requirements and electrical codes require the
Freedom XC's AC and DC inputs and outputs to be provided with
over-current protection (such as circuit breakers or fuses) and
disconnect devices.
AC Input The circuit breaker or fuse (connected through hard
wiring) that is used to supply the Freedom XC must
be rated at no more than 30A and must be approved
for use on 230 VV branch circuits. The wire used
between the breaker and the Freedom XC input
must be sized adequately to carry current up to the
rating of the input breaker and in accordance with
the electrical codes or regulations applicable to
your installation.
AC Output The circuit breaker or fuse must be rated at no more
than the rating of the input breaker in the installation
and must be approved for use on 230 VV branch
circuits. The wire used between the Freedom XC
and the AC output breaker must be of adequate
size to match the AC input circuit breaker's rating.
The wiring from each AC output breaker to each of
the loads must be adequately sized to carry the
current rating of the individual AC output breaker.
