Installing the HI400

Overview

This section provides detailed installation information. The
overall procedure is divided into nine main steps:

Designing your installation

This section provides information about AC wires, DC
cables, AC disconnects and over protection devices, GFCIs,
and batteries which you must supply as part of the
installation.
AC shorepower
A source of 120 volt, 60 Hz alternating current (AC) power is
needed if it is desired to power the loads connected to the
inverter from a source other than the inverter. Typically, this
source will be utility grid (power company) power provided
at an RV park or campground, or an AC generator.
