Inverter Installation

This section describes general installation instructions for the XPower Inverter 1500 .

IMPORTANT: Use a qualified installer if you do not possess the knowledge and skill necessary to follow these general instructions. In addition, a qualified installer such as a licensed electrician, knows all national and local electrical codes and specific installation codes that may apply to your power system design.

Installation Code

In residential applications, electrical codes do not allow permanent connection of AC distribution wiring to the inverter’s GFCI-protected AC output receptacles. The receptacles are intended for temporary (as-needed) connection of cord connected loads only.

Prepare for Installation

•Design your power system.

•Calculate your battery requirements.

•Choose an effective charging system.

•Choose an appropriate location.

•Purchase cables for DC input and ground.

•Select the correct fuses (or circuit breakers).
