INSTALLATION
This procedure will connect the chassis of your unit to AC ground. In addition, the AC input and AC output green wires are connected to chassis ground. It is important to connect these wires to the AC ground bus in the circuit breaker panel.
Note: The battery cables are not con- nected to ground or the chassis of the unit.
Neutral Bonding
For safety purposes, the Fleet Power inverter/charger unit internally bonds the AC output neutral to the AC ground when the unit is OFF or in the inverter mode. When incoming AC power is applied and the transfer switch is engaged, the internal
This means that when the vehicle is connected to shore power, the grounding system is connected to the shore power ground, where neutral and earth ground are bonded together. This technique insures safety in all conditions and conforms to the requirements of the NEC.
AC Wiring
The AC wires route through the holes in the bottom of the unit. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws which secure the AC wiring compartment cover plate. Inside, the compartment is divided into 2 sections, one labeled AC Input, the other labeled AC
Output. Each side contains 3 pigtails: black, white and green. Six wire nut con- nectors are also provided.
Black | Hot or Line |
White | Neutral |
Green | Ground |
Conventional metal strain reliefs are provided. These can be replaced by plastic strain reliefs for additional corrosion resis- tance or 3/4 inch conduit fittings if the wiring will be routed through the conduit.
Use proper wire sizes according to the NEC.
AC Input (Fleet Power 1000 and Fleet Power 2000): Feed the 3 conductor AC input wire through the strain relief and into the AC input compartment. You should have 6 inches of individually insulated black, white and green wire. Strip 1/2 inch of insulation off each conductor and connect to the pigtails: black to black, white to white and green to green.
AC Input (Fleet Power 2500): There are 2 options for configuring the AC input to the Fleet Power 2500.
Dual Inputs: The internal battery charger may be fed separately from the transfer input which feeds the AC loads. In this case, connect one 30 Amp feed to the charger pigtails and another 30 Amp feed to the transfer switch input.
Connecting the feeds in this way bal- ances the AC loads when 2 legs of incoming AC power are available. These two feeds can be in or out of phase. Transfer will only
