INSTALLATION 3.3 DC WIRING Solar Panel ISW Remote Control (Optional) GP-ISW Loads DC Panel Battery Disconnect Switch (not required if circuit breaker is used) Fuse or Circuit Breaker Earth Ground (RV Ground) Fuse Battery Bank To Battery Bank To Battery Bank The following points must be observed for the DC Wiring.
INSTALLATION 3.3.1 DC WIRING SIZING The distance between the battery bank and the GP-ISW should be as short as possible to achieve maximum efficiency and to reduce fire hazards. The size of the cable should be thick enough to limit the voltage drop to less than 2% when carrying the maximum input current to prevent frequent low- input voltage warnings and shutdown.
INSTALLATION 3.3.2 DC OVERCURRENT PROTECTION AND DC DISCONNECT Batteries are capable of providing very large currents in case of a short circuit, if this occurs with no DC overcurrent protection, it will result in overheating and melting of the cables and possibly serious injury and/or fire.
INSTALLATION highly recommended. Apply the antioxidant grease or spray after all the connections are made and tightened. 3.3.5 WIRING THE INVERTER TO THE BATTERIES WARNING: Lethal currents will be present if the positive and negative cables attached to the battery bank touch each other. During the installation and wiring process, ensure the cable ends are insulated or covered to prevent shorting the cables.
INSTALLATION • Attach the red and black terminal covers over the Inverters DC connectors and secure them in place with the supplied screws. 3.3.6 DC GROUNDING To protect against electrical shock hazards the GP-ISW metal chassis must be connected to the DC grounding system.
INSTALLATION 3.4.1 AC OUTPUT INTERFACE Socket Type (F) Model GP-ISW200/400-12/24 North America (GFCI) 3.4.2 GFCI (GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTION) OUTLETS Compliance with UL standards requires that Go Power! test and recommend specific GFCIs for use on the AC output of the GP-ISW. GFCIs shall be installed in the AC output wiring system to protect all branch circuits.
