Figure 3-6 Configuration for Heavy Loads

To connect the DC cables:

1.Cut the cables to the correct length.

2.Strip the appropriate amount of insulation off one end of each cable and attach the connectors that will join the cables to the battery, battery isolator switch, or fuse block. The connectors you use must create a permanent, low-resistance connection.

If you are using crimp connectors, use the tool recommended by the terminal manufacturer. Make sure no stray wires protrude from the terminal. (You may find it more convenient to have the crimp connectors attached by the company that sells you the cable.)

3.Strip about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) from the ends of the cables that will be connected to the inverter.
