Battery Connection CAUTION: For safety operation and regulation compliance, it’s requested to install a separate DC over-current protector or disconnection device between battery and the inverter. It may not be necessary to have a disconnection device in some applications, however, it’s still recommended to have over-current protection installed.
  • Page 8 2. For the 1.5KW model, remove the insulation sleeve about 18mm for positive and negative wires. Prepare four battery wires for 4KW model and two or four battery wires for 6KW model depending on cable size (refer to recommended cable size table). Apply ring terminals to your battery wires and secure it to the battery terminal block with the bolts properly tightened.
  • Page 9 AC Input/Output Connection CAUTION!! Before connecting to AC input power source, please install a separate AC breaker between the inverter and the AC input power source. This will ensure that the inverter can be safely disconnected during maintenance and fully protected from over-current. The recommended spec of AC breaker is 16A for 1.5KW, 32A for 4KW and 50A for 6KW.
  • Page 10 CAUTION: Appliances such as air conditioner required at least 2~3 minutes to spool up because it needs to have enough time to balance refrigerant gas inside of circuits. If a power shortage occurs and recovers in a short period of time, it may cause damage to your connected appliances. To prevent this from happening, please check with manufacturer of air conditioner if it has time-delay function before installation.
