About Xantrex Xantrex Technology Inc. (www.xantrex.com), a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, is a world leader in the development, manufacturing and marketing of advanced power electronic products and systems for the renewable and mobile power markets. The company's products convert and control raw electrical power from any central, distributed, renewable, or backup power source into high-quality power required by electronic equipment and the electricity grid.
About This Guide Purpose The purpose of this Installation Guide is to provide explanations and procedures for installing the XPower Inverter 3000. Scope Guide provides safety guidelines and procedures for installing the inverter. It does not provide details about particular brands of batteries. You need to consult individual battery manufacturers for this information.
About This Guide Conventions Used The following conventions are used in this guide. WARNING Warnings identify conditions that could result in personal injury or loss of life CAUTION Cautions identify conditions or practices that could result in damage to the unit or other equipment.
Important Safety Instructions IMPORTANT: Read and save this Installation Guide for future reference. This chapter contains important safety instructions for the XPower Inverter 3000. WARNING: Shock, fire, and heat hazard. Risk of injury to persons. 1. Before installing and using the XPower Inverter 3000, read all instructions and cautionary markings on or provided with the...
Safety 7. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect DC power from the XPower Inverter 3000 before attempting any maintenance or cleaning or working on any circuits connected to the XPower Inverter 3000. Turning off controls will not reduce this risk. 8.
Safety WARNING: Risk of personal injury due to burns or battery acid 8. Remove all metal items, like rings, bracelets, and watches when working with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries produce a short circuit current high enough to weld metal to skin, causing a severe burn.

Designing Your Installation Before doing anything else, you need to determine how you are going to use your inverter, and then design a power system that will give you maximum performance. The more thorough your planning, the better your power needs will be met. In particular, you will need to: •...

Installation Codes Governing installation codes vary depending on the location and type of installation. Electrical installations must meet local and/or national wiring codes and should be performed by a qualified electrician. An example of a national wiring code is the US National Electrical Code (NEC, NFPA70) article 551 governing electrical installations in RVs.
Choosing an Effective Charging System The charging system must be appropriate for your particular installation. A well-designed charging system will ensure that power is available when you need it and that your batteries remain in top condition. Inadequate charging will degrade system performance, and the wrong type of charger will reduce battery life.
Page 38
Appropriate The inverter must only be installed in a location that is: Location Do not allow water or other liquids to drop or splash on it. Cool Ambient air temperature should be between 0 and 40ºC (32 and 105ºF)—the cooler the better within this range. Ventilated Allow at least 3"...
Page 39
Mounting The inverter must be oriented in one of the following ways: Orientation • Horizontally on a vertical surface. (Do not mount with the fan pointing up or down.) • On a horizontal surface. • Under a horizontal surface. Non-sinusoidal output onl y .
Selecting Cable Sizes To operate safely and effectively, the XPower Inverter 3000 needs proper cables and fuses. The XPower Inverter 3000 has low-voltage and high- current input, so it is essential that you use low-resistance wiring between the battery and the inverter. This means using the largest gauge and shortest DC cables.
Selecting a DC Input Fuse or Circuit Breaker The DC cables from the battery to the inverter need to be provided with overcurrent protection, in the form of a fuse or circuit breaker, located as close as possible to the DC positive battery terminal. Because your batteries can provide thousands of amps of short-circuit current, you need a DC-rated fuse or circuit breaker that can safely interrupt the short-circuit current that the batteries can produce.
2. Once you have determined the total short-circuit current rating of your batteries, select a fuse or circuit breaker that has: • a short-circuit interrupting capacity at least equal to the total short-circuit current rating of your battery bank, and •...
Installation Chapter 2, “Installation,” provides information on cables and fuses to help you plan for your installation and provide procedures for installing the inverter. Read the entire chapter before beginning the installation procedures so that you can plan an installation that is suited to your power needs. 2–1 This guide for use by qualified installers only.
Installing the Inverter Do not proceed with the installation of your inverter until you have read the section, “Installing the Inverter” starting on page 2–2. The more thorough your planning, the better your power needs will be met to achieve maximum performance from your inverter. Safety Instructions Before you start to install the inverter: •...
Installing the Inverter • Copper chassis ground cable, as selected in “Selecting Cable Sizes” on page 1–8, with 5/16” size ring terminal for connection to ground stud. • AC output cable (if using the hardwire terminals) • Battery isolator (if connecting to a multiple-battery system) •...
Mounting the Inverter Do not mount the inverter under the hood of your vehicle. See “Choosing an Appropriate Location and Mounting Orientation” on page 1–5. To mount the inverter: 1. Make sure the On/Off switch is in the Off position. 2.
Installing the Inverter WARNING: Shock and fire hazard Never operate the inverter without properly connecting the chassis ground. You must connect the 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 inverter chassis ground lug and the vehicle’s DC grounding point (usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus).
Page 48
WARNING: Shock hazard If AC outlets are connected to the inverter AC hardwire terminal, the outlets must be GFCI-protected. For a list of Xantrex-tested and approved GFCIs and for more information about GFCIs, see the application note “Using GFCI Receptacles on Xantrex Inverters and Inverter/Chargers”...

Installing the Inverter 7. Install a strain-relief device (not provided) on the AC knockout. 8. Run each of the line, neutral, and ground wires through the knockout and through the strain-relief device. 9. Loosen the screws on the left side of the terminal block, if not already loose at the factory.
Connecting the DC Cables Do not place anything between battery cable lug and terminal surface. Assemble exactly as shown. Copper Compression Lug Aluminum Box Lug Figure 2-3 DC cable lug examples Consult Figure 1-1, “Configuration for Normal Loads” on page 1–2, or Figure 1-2, “Configuration for Heavy Loads”...
Page 51
Connecting the DC Cables 4. Install a fuse and disconnect switch or breaker between the inverter and the battery. Ensure that the disconnect switch or breaker is turned off before installing. They must be installed in the positive side of the DC circuit, as close as possible to the battery.
Page 52
7. Attach the DC terminal covers. 8. Before proceeding, double check that you have connected the cables properly—positive to positive, negative to negative. 9. Turn on the battery disconnect switch or breaker. 10. If you have installed a battery selector switch, use it to select one of the batteries or battery banks (house bank preferred over start bank).
