Note:
The type of batteries you use to power your high power inverter is important. Operating a
Cable Gauges
When connecting the inverter to a battery bank use the thickest stranded insulated copper wire available, in the shortest length practical. Recommended cable gauges are as follows:
Energizer® | Recommended Gauges |
Model # |
|
EN500 | 12AWG (3 ft. included) |
EN900 | 8AWG (3 ft. included) |
EN1100 | 8AWG (3 ft. included) |
EN1500 | 4AWG (not included) |
EN2000 | 2AWG (not included) |
EN3000 | 0AWG (not included) |
EN4000 | 0AWG (not included) |
WARNING:
DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION – INSTALL A FUSE
Battery banks can deliver very high levels of current that can vaporize metal, start fires and cause explosions. Energizer® recommends installing one ANL type fuse and fuse holder close to the positive battery bank terminal. This fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable shorts, which can cause batteries to explode. ANL fuses and fuse holders are available at most marine supply stores.
CAUTIONS:
•Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage that can cause damage to cables and insulation.
•Failure to make correct polarity ( Pos, Neg ) connection between the inverter and the battery bank can result in blowing fuses in the
inverter and can permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by reversed polarity is not covered under the Energizer® warranty.
