SYSTEM PROTECTION

An FX Series Inverter/Charger is part of an electrical system that protects:

You

The wires

The components

The devices served by the system

DC WIRING ORIGINATION

Each FX must be part of a permanently grounded electrical system (see page 7). Grounding protects people and equipment from electrical shock.

Grounding must be done according to local and national electrical codes.

OutBack circuit breakers protect wiring by limiting the amount of current entering a system. All wired electrical systems require circuit breakers or fuses for protection.

OutBack offers both breakers and fuses for over- current protection. If they are provided by other vendors, they must be properly rated.

DC brass battery terminals with 8M x 1.25 stainless steel threaded studs

Never install extra washers between the terminal mounting surface and the battery cable lug—the connection must be direct and secure.

Always install breakers or fuses within the positive battery cable.
