1.Anderson Power Products® manufactures power interconnects and accessories. An Ander- son connector is a term used in this manual to mean a connector manufactured by Anderson Power Products and refers to either SB175 or SB350.

DC Grounding

To connect the DC ground:

The equipment grounding lug on the DC end of the Freedom HF is used to connect the chassis of the Freedom HF to your system’s DC negative connection or grounding bus point as required by electrical regulations. Use copper wire that is either bare or provided with green insulation. Do not use the DC Ground Lug for your AC grounding. (See the AC wiring instructions in this section.)

Follow the guidelines below that correspond to the specific type of installation. These guidelines assume you are using the DC supply cable and fuse sizes recommended in this manual. If you are using different sizes, refer to the applicable installation code for DC grounding details.

Recreational Vehicle Use 8AWG copper wire and connect it between the Chassis Ground lug and the vehicle’s DC grounding point (usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus).

Marine Use copper wire that is bare or has insulation rated minimum 105 °C, and connect it between the Chassis Ground lug and the boat’s DC grounding bus or engine negative bus. For the Freedom HF 1000, use a wire of gauge 4AWG minimum. For the Freedom HF 1800, use a wire of gauge 1/0AWG minimum.
