AC Components

NOTE: Unless otherwise referenced specifically by product name, the components refer to all models of Freedom SW inverter/ chargers.

AC Input

AC input can be supplied from a single-phase 230-volt 50-Hz AC source such as the utility grid (power company), a generator, or the output of a transfer switch.

AC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection Device

To meet mobile electrical code requirements, and to protect system wiring, the AC inputs and outputs of the inverter/charger must be provided with overcurrent protection on both the AC input and output. This protection may be a circuit breaker or a fuse with a disconnect device (for simplicity the following refers to breakers). Refer to your applicable installation codes and the following requirements:

AC Output

The output voltage on Freedom SW inverter/chargers is

230 volts AC. The Freedom SW 2524-230 and Freedom SW 3524- 230 models have a Single Input and Single Output line (SI-SO) configuration.

AC Input Protection

The breaker protecting the AC input of the Freedom SW 230V must be approved for use on 230 volts AC branch circuit. The breaker must be rated no more than 30 amps maximum.

AC Loads

The Freedom SW 230V is intended to power loads consisting of 230 volts/50 Hz AC appliances.

In Invert mode, the Freedom SW 230V provides 230 volts/50 Hz AC to loads connected to Line out. In AC Bypass mode, the source connected to the AC input is passed through to the load. Only

230 volts/50 Hz AC appliances can be connected to the Freedom SW 230V output.

AC Output Protection

The breaker between the Freedom SW 230V AC output and the AC loads must be rated to protect the AC output wire size used. If the AC output wiring is based on the full 30-amp pass-through rating, then a 30-amp output breaker is acceptable. If the AC output wiring is smaller, then the breaker size will have to be smaller as well, in accordance with applicable electrical installation codes.
