AC shore power

A source of 120 volts, 60Hz sine wave alternating current is needed to provide energy to charge batteries and pass power through to AC loads. This source is usually the utility grid (power company) or an AC generator. An automatic or manual AC source selector switch can be used to switch between the multiple sources of shore power to the Freedom HF system.

The AC source feeding the Freedom HF must have the neutral conductor bonded to ground. When the inverter passes shore power through, it will lift the bonding relay on the output and will rely on the input being bonded in order to ensure that the power delivered to a sub panel is properly bonded. See “AC Output Neutral Bonding” on page 9 for more information on bonding relay operation.

IMPORTANT: Throughout this manual, the term “shore power” refers to AC input power from a utility grid, generator, or other AC source.

Generator

The Freedom HF is compatible with most generators which produce nominal 120 volts AC 60Hz sine wave AC power.

Since the DC charging current limit of the Freedom HF may be configured to provide as little as 2 amps it is possible to use very small generators with the Freedom HF to charge batteries. The Freedom HF has been tested with generators of various sizes, including some as small as 700 watts.

Basic Installation Procedures

AC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection Device

Most safety requirements and electrical codes require the Freedom HF’s AC and DC inputs and outputs to be provided with over-current protection (such as circuit breakers or fuses) and disconnect devices.
