No AC disconnects are provided as an integral part of this inverter. AC
disconnects must be provided as part of the system installation.
No over-current protection for the AC output wiring is provided as an integral part
of this inverter. Over-current protection of the AC output wiring must be provided
as part of the system installation.
This inverter/charger includes neutral ground switching for the AC electrical
system. The AC system must have the neutral isolated from the grounding system
throughout the load distribution circuits. AC generators must have the neutral
bonded to the grounding system when used with this inverter.
The inverter/charger provides a system that automatically connects the neutral
conductor of the inverter's AC output circuit to safety ground ("bonding" it) while
the inverter/charger is inverting, and disconnects it ("unbonding" it) when the
inverter/charger is connected to external AC power. This system is designed to
conform to installation codes that require AC sources such as inverters and
generators to have their neutral conductors tied to ground at the source of power in
the same way that the neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground. These
same codes specify that the neutral can only be connected to ground in one place
at any one time.
WARNING: Shock hazard
Do not connect 240 Vac loads to the inverter/charger outputs. Doing so may result in
120 Vac on exposed parts of the appliance.
