Step 4: Connecting the DC Cables
DC Connection Precautions
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Connect and disconnect DC wiring only after opening the disconnect
switches or breakers at all AC and DC sources.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
Recommended Cable Sizes and Lengths and Fuse Size
For recommended DC cables and fuse size, see Table 3 on page 13.
Preparing the Cables
To prepare the DC cables:
1.
Cut the negative and positive cables to the required length. Strip off
enough insulation so you can install the terminals you will be using.
Xantrex recommends the use of crimp connectors. The connector
should be designed for a 3/8" stud size to connect to the Freedom SW
3000. If a crimp connector is used, it should be crimped using the tool
indicated by the connector manufacturer.

2.
Cut the DC ground cable to the required length. Strip off enough
insulation so you can install the terminals you will be using.
Xantrex recommends the use of crimp connectors. The connector
should be designed for a 1/4" stud size to connect to the Freedom SW
3000. If a crimp connector is used, it should be crimped using the tool
indicated by the connector manufacturer.
3.
Attach the connectors to the ends of both cables. Make sure no stray
wire strands protrude from the connectors.
