Make sure wiring being connected to the inverter/charger is
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
General AC Wiring Considerations
AC and DC Wiring Separation Do not mix AC and DC wiring in the same conduit or panel. Consult the applicable installation code for details about DC wiring and AC wiring in vicinity to each other.
AC Input and Output Isolation The AC input and output circuits of this inverter/charger are isolated from each other when in invert mode to ensure safe operation. This isolation must be maintained in the installation, by being sure not to connect AC input and output wiring to a common point. For example, do not route the AC input and output neutrals to a common neutral bus. It is highly

recommended to use a separate inverter load panel to distribute power to inverter loads. All wiring to this panel must be through the inverter/charger and none to the main panel upstream of the inverter/charger.
IMPORTANT: Wiring the output inverter to back to the main panel could result in ground bonding to occur in multiple locations in contravention of applicable wiring codes and may result in nuisance tripping of Ground fault protection equipment. All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
AC Wiring Compartment For your reference, the AC wiring compartment is shown in Figure 6 on page 25.
AC Knockouts There are two dual 1.0" (Ø34.6mm) and 3/4" (Ø28.3mm)
AC Wiring Terminals The AC wiring terminals accept cables of a specific size. See “AC Wiring” on page 11 for required sizes.
