Basic Installation Procedures

Step 5: Connecting AC Output to an Existing AC Circuit

WARNING: Shock, fire, and energy hazards

Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with applicable local and national electrical wiring codes.

WARNING: Shock hazard and equipment damage

Do not connect any AC source (such as a generator or utility power) to the AC wiring output of the Freedom HF.

The Freedom HF will not operate if its output is connected to AC voltage from another source, and potentially hazardous or damaging conditions may occur. These conditions can occur even if the inverter is off.

Do not connect the Freedom HF to an AC branch circuit that has high-power consumption loads.

The Freedom HF will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and other electrical appliances that consume more than 1000 watts (Freedom HF 1000) or 1800 watts (Freedom HF 1800).

A Xantrex-tested and approved GFCI must be connected to the Freedom HF AC output, and on every receptacle connected to the AC hard wired installation. Other types may fail to operate properly when connected to the Freedom HF. Although you can reuse the factory-installed GFCI, Xantrex has also tested and approved the following GFCIs for use with the Freedom HF:

Hubbell

GFR5252

1000, 1800 specifications

Xantrex Technology offers a range of power inverters that cater to both recreational and professional needs, with the Xantrex 1800 and 1000 models being among the most popular in their lineup. These inverters are specially designed to convert DC power from batteries into clean, pure sine wave AC power, making them suitable for running sensitive electronic devices and appliances.

The Xantrex 1800 is a robust inverter that delivers 1800 watts of continuous power and 3600 watts of peak power. This makes it ideal for powering essential appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, and power tools. Its compact design allows for easier installation in various settings such as RVs, boats, and off-grid homes.

On the other hand, the Xantrex 1000 inverter is designed for lower power requirements, offering 1000 watts of continuous power and 2000 watts of peak power. It is perfect for powering small appliances, electronics, and gadgets, making it a great choice for weekend campers and those who require less energy capacity.

Both models feature advanced technologies, including low idle power draw, which ensures that energy is conserved when the inverter is not actively powering devices. They also include overload protection, ensuring the inverter shuts down automatically if the power exceeds its limits, thus preventing damage to the unit or connected devices.

Another hallmark of Xantrex inverters is their user-friendly interface. The LED indicator lights provide clear status updates on the power output and inverter operation, making it easy for users to monitor performance at a glance. Additionally, both models feature various safety protocols, including short circuit and over-temperature protection, to enhance operational safety.

Installation is straightforward, thanks to the provided mounting options and wiring accessories. The units are designed to withstand harsh environments, with durable casings that enhance longevity and resilience.

In summary, the Xantrex 1800 and 1000 models offer reliable power solutions for a variety of applications. Their combination of high-quality sine wave output, advanced safety features, and user-friendly operation makes them a top choice for anyone seeking dependable off-grid power. With Xantrex, users can trust that they are investing in products engineered for performance and durability in an ever-increasing range of power needs.
