Installation

Connect the Chassis Ground

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock.

Never operate the PROwatt SW without connecting it to the ground. Electrical shock hazard could result.

All PROwatt SW models have a chassis ground screw terminal on the side. See “Back Panel Details” on page 5.

Fixed Location

Connect the chassis ground screw to your system’s DC grounding point using 6 AWG

wirea. The system’s grounding point is usually the AC service entrance grounding point or a separate ground rod. For a solar PV (photovoltaic) installation, this is usually the same rod used to ground the PV array.

Follow the guidelines below to connect the inverter’s chassis to ground.

Grounding Locations

The chassis ground terminal must be connected to a grounding point. The grounding point varies depending on where you install the PROwatt SW. Follow the guidelines that correspond to your type of installation.

a.The grounding conductor (grounding wire) should be the same wire size as the DC cables.

Connect The Battery Cables

Important: Use of a qualified installer strongly recommended.

To operate safely and effectively, the PROwatt SW needs proper DC cables and DC-rated fuse(s). Because the PROwatt SW has low-

Recreational Vehicle

Connect the chassis ground screw to the vehicle’s chassis using a minimum 8 AWG copper wire (preferably with green/yellow insulation).

voltage, high-current input, low-resistance wiring between the battery and the inverter is essential to deliver the maximum amount of usable energy to your load.
