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 HF 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

HF (the AC source panel) and between the Freedom HF 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 HF. 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 HF 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 HF, as well as all cabling between the Freedom HF 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 marine or 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.
