Xantrex XPower Inverter 3000 Installation Manual page 24

You must connect the XPower inverter chassis ground terminal to
a grounding point. Use a No. 8 AWG copper wire that is bare or
provided with green insulation and connect it between the XPower
inverter chassis ground lug and the vehicle's DC grounding point
(usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus).
To connect the cable to the chassis ground lug:
1. Make sure the XPower inverter's On/Off switch is in the Off
position.
2. Loosen chassis ground stud with a 1/2" wrench.
3. Tighten the chassis ground lug to a torque of 216–240 inch-
lbs (24–27 Nm).
Connecting the AC Output
You can plug your AC loads directly into the receptacles on the
XPower inverter's front panel. Output power to each receptacle is
limited by a circuit protector rated at 20 A.
You can also hardwire (permanently connect) the AC output from
the AC hardwire terminal through the AC knockout into a load sub-
panel or additional GFCI-protected AC outlets powered by the
XPower inverter. For this hardwire connection to a load sub-panel,
the branch circuit neutral must not be connected to the ground bus
of the sub-panel. The neutral grounding point is already made in
the XPower inverter AC output circuit. This complies with the
NEC regulations.

IMPORTANT: This connection must be made in accordance with
applicable electrical codes. If you are not a qualified electrician,
we recommend that you let a qualified electrician install this
product.
SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
For protection and control, install a branch-circuit rated breaker
between the XPower inverter and the load wiring, receptacles,
and loads.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage.
The XPower Inverter 3000 will not operate a combination of high-
power electrical appliances that consume a total of more than
2500 watts (continuous operation) or a total of more than 3000
watts (five-minute operation).
SHOCK AND FIRE HAZARD
If AC outlets are connected to the inverter AC hardwire terminal,
the outlets must be GFCI-protected.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious
injury, or equipment damage.
