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 HW.

The Freedom HW 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 HW to an AC branch circuit that has high-power consumption loads.

The Freedom HW will not operate electric heaters, air conditioners, stoves, and other electrical appliances that consume more than 1000 watts.

A Xantrex-tested and approved GFCI must be connected to the Freedom HW 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 HW. Although you can reuse the factory-installed GFCI, Xantrex has also tested and approved the following GFCIs for use with the Freedom HW.
