should be used when continuously operating heavy draw equipment under these conditions. Tighten your Inverter and battery terminals to approximately 3.5
Recommended Cable Sizing.
•Connect Ground: Using a
section to locate the Main Ground Screw. All installations must comply with national and local codes and ordinances.
•Connect Fuse: Tripp Lite recommends that you connect your Inverter’s positive DC Terminal directly to a fuse(s) and fuse block(s) within 45 cm (18 inches) of the battery. The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your Inverter’s specifications. See Specifications for fuse recommendations. See diagrams below for proper fuse placement.
WARNING!
•Failure to properly ground your Inverter to a vehicle’s chassis or earth ground may result in a lethal electrical shock hazard.
•Never attempt to operate your Inverter by connecting it directly to output from an alternator rather than a battery or battery bank.
•Observe proper polarity with all DC connections.
