AC wiring must be sized appropriately to carry full load current on the input and output AC circuits in accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to your installation. Table 1-4 is based on the U.S. National Electrical Code, 2003 Ed. and the Canadian Electrical Code, assuming 2-conductor-plus-ground cable, using 75 °C wiring, at an ambient temperature of 30 °C. Other codes and regulations may be applicable to your installation.

	Required Breaker Size	Required Wire Size
Freedom HF	30 A maximum	10 AWG

There are two knockouts on the front panel for AC input and output wiring. Use the supplied strain relief clamps to prevent damage to the wiring from tension being applied.

CAUTION: Equipment damage

The AC wiring terminal block is split into input and output sections. Damage to the inverter will occur if the unit is wired incorrectly.

When making the AC input and AC output connections, observe the correct color code for the appropriate AC wire, as described in Table 1-5.
