NOTE: Consult NEC (National Electric Code) for actual wire sizes required for your specific
installation.
Important Precautions
The output side of the inverter's AC wiring should at no time be connected to public power or a
generator. This condition is far worse than a short circuit. If the unit survives this condition, it will shut
down until corrections are made.
Installation should ensure that the inverter's AC output is, at no time, connected to its AC input.
Review the installation diagrams included before you start making connections.
