Xantrex Technology HW 1000 manual Carry the current rating of the individual AC output breaker

	AC Output: The circuit breaker or fuse must be rated at no more than
	the rating of the input breaker in the installation and must be
	approved for use on 120 Vac branch circuits. The wire used between
	the Freedom HW and the AC output breaker must be of adequate size
	to match the AC input circuit breaker’s rating. The wiring from each
	AC output breaker to each of the loads must be adequately sized to
	carry the current rating of the individual AC output breaker.
	Disconnect Devices: Each system requires a method of
	disconnecting the AC circuits. If the over-current protection devices
	are circuit breakers, they will also serve as the disconnects. If fuses
	are used, separate AC disconnect switches will be needed ahead of
	the fuses. These will have to be a branch circuit rated for 120 Vac and
	have an appropriate current rating.
AC Distribution	Most systems incorporate distribution centers both ahead of the Freedom
Panels	HW (the AC source panel) and between the Freedom HW and the loads
	(the AC load panel). An AC source panel includes a main circuit breaker,
	which serves as over-current protection and as a disconnect for the AC
	shore power supply line. Additional circuit breakers serve individual
	circuits, one of which serves the Freedom HW. The AC load panel can
	incorporate an AC output circuit breaker and breakers for individual load
	circuits.

	CAUTION: Equipment damage
	Do not connect the output of the Freedom HW to what is known as a “multi-wire
	branch circuit”. These are four-wire circuits consisting of a ground, neutral, and
	two lines that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other (from a standard 120/
	240V “split phase” circuit). These circuits are commonly used in kitchens to
	power “split receptacles” where the top and bottom halves of a duplex receptacle
	are connected to different lines.
AC Cabling	AC cabling includes all the wires and connectors between the AC source
	and the Freedom HW, as well as all cabling between the Freedom HW
	and the AC output panels, circuit breakers, and loads. The type and size of
	the wiring varies with the installation and load. For example, in high
	vibration environments, such as RV applications, wire nuts may not be
	acceptable, so crimp splices would be required. In other applications,
	flexible multiple-strand wire may be required. Installation codes usually
	specify solid or stranded, overall size of the conductors, and type and
	temperature rating of the insulation around the wire.
