200mm2 400kcmil (MCM) WARNING Using thinner wires than recommended can cause the PowerCore3K100 to shut down under heavy loads, melt the wire insulation, and potentially start a fire. Always match or exceed the rating of the DC fuse and holder. - Page 13 To wire the DC input connection: Connect a negative DC input cable between the unit’s DC negative terminal and the battery’s negative terminal. Ensure the isolation switch is in the OFF position. Connect a positive DC input cable between the unit’s DC positive terminal and one terminal of the isolation switch.
- Page 14 DC Fuse/Circuit Breaker A 400ADC-rated fuse or circuit breaker must be used on the DC positive line. The fuse or circuit breaker must be sufficient to handle short circuit current rating of your battery bank. Check with the battery manufacturer to determine the short circuit current rating of your battery bank.
- Page 15 In marine applications, the main AC-DC ground bonding may require galvanic isolators to prevent galvanic corrosion. Always check your local electrical codes. WARNING The chassis must be properly grounded before use. Never operate the PowerCore3K100 without proper grounding. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
