AC Components

AC Input

AC input to the Freedom SW 2000 can be supplied from a single-phase 120-volt 60-Hz AC source such as the utility grid (power company), a generator, or the output of a transfer switch.

AC Output

AC output from the Freedom SW 2000 is 120 Vac/60 Hz.

AC Loads

The Freedom SW 2000 is intended to power loads consisting of 120 Vac appliances.

In Invert mode, the Freedom SW 2000 provides 120 Vac to loads connected to AC output. In AC pass-through mode, the source connected to the AC input is passed through (sometimes called bypass current or pass-through power) to the load. Because of the way invert mode operates, only 120 Vac appliances can be connected to the Freedom SW 2000 output.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not connect 240 Vac loads to the Freedom SW 2000 outputs. Doing so may result in 120 Vac on exposed parts of the appliance.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.

Planning the Installation

	AC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection Devices	only.
	To meet CSA, UL, and electrical code requirements, and to protect system	only.
