Installation Option 2 for Freedom Marine 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30

The inverter is used in a Single Input/Single Output mode. The AC loads are split between main loads and inverter loads. The external sources of AC power can be a single 30 amp shorepower source or a 30 amp breaker from a panel fed by a 50 amp 120 volt single phase (3 wire) shorepower source, 1 leg of a 50 amp 120/240 split phase (4 wire) shorepower source, or a generator. The charger shares power with the inverter loads only.

In this installation example, one single phase shorepower source is available or only one leg of a split phase source is used to supply the AC input of the inverter/charger. It is highly recommended that only the lighter appliances and outlet circuits be connected to the Inverter AC Panel. These loads are supplied power through the inverter in charge/ transfer mode, or by the inverter in invert mode. The charger shares power with the inverter loads only and can transfer up to 30 amps. The heavier loads such as space heaters, stoves, water heaters, air conditioners, AC to DC converters, or other battery chargers should remain connected to the Main AC Panel. These loads are only supplied by shorepower or generator power from the main panel. This split load approach will help avoid problems such as overloading the inverter or rapidly discharging the battery bank, and eliminates the need to manually manage the energy usage of these loads when using inverter power.

The inverter AC input must be supplied power from a 30 amp breaker in the main panel and from the main neutral bus. The inverter’s AC output supplies a separate sub panel. The appliance and outlet loads are then supplied with power from the inverter hot and neutral bus in the sub panel. When installing a Freedom Marine 25 or 30 model, AC Input #2 and AC Output #2 are not used and must be capped off.

If a generator is installed in the system, a break-before-make AC transfer switch is used to select between shorepower or generator power. The transfer switch AC output is then routed to the input of the Main AC Panel.
