Phoenix Inverter Smart Manual 3. Installation • This product should be installed by a qualified electrician. • During installation ensure that the remote connector with wire bridge is removed (or switch off the remote on/off switch if installed) to be sure that the inverter cannot be switched on unexpectedly. 3.1.
Phoenix Inverter Smart Manual 3.2.1. Battery connection In order to fully utilize the full capacity of the inverter, it is important to use batteries with sufficient capacity and battery cables with sufficient cross section. There is no safety fuse inside the inverter. A safety fuse should be installed externally. See below table for the recommended battery cable cross section, safety fuse rating and battery capacity for each inverter model.

Phoenix Inverter Smart Manual 5.3. Protections and automatic restarts Overload Some loads like motors or pumps draw large inrush currents in a start-up situation. In such circumstances, it is possible that the start-up current exceeds the over current trip level of the inverter. In this case the AC output voltage will quickly decrease to limit the output current of the inverter.

Phoenix Inverter Smart Manual 7.3. Installation information floating ground 3000VA and 5000VA models Ground wire “G“ connects the output neutral to ground. It must be re-positioned to a ‘dummy’ terminal if a floating output is required. When a floating output is obtained, the current reading at no load can show an offset of around 100 - 150mA. Also beware that a GFCI (or RCCB) will not function properly.
