AC Input

AC input to the Freedom SW 3000 can be supplied from a split-phase or dual-input AC source such as the utility grid (power company), a generator, or the output of a transfer switch. The Freedom SW 3000 can be operated from the following types of 120 volt 60 Hz AC sources:

Split phase: This source type has two lines, one neutral, and one ground. The two 120 VAC lines are 180 degrees out of phase with each other, so that the two voltages total to 240 VAC. The voltage between each line and neutral is still 120 VAC, and the voltage between the neutral and ground is approximately zero.

Because the two lines are out of phase, the currents from each line subtract in the neutral, and the neutral current will be approximately zero if the loads are equal. For example, if Line 1 is supplying 20A and Line 2 is supplying 15A, the current in the neutral will be 5A.

Dual input: This source type has two line inputs, one neutral, and one ground. Unlike the split-phase type, the two lines are in phase (not out of phase), and must come from the same source. The voltage between the two lines is zero. The voltage between each line and the neutral is 120 VAC, and the voltage between the neutral and ground is approximately zero.

Because the two lines are in phase, the currents from each line add together in the neutral. For example, if Line 1 is supplying 20A and Line 2 is supplying 15A, the current in the neutral will be 35A.

Planning

IMPORTANT: The Freedom SW 3000 is designed to be connected to AC

 

sources that energize both L1 and L2 inputs, and cannot be powered by

 

single-phase input where only one of L1 or L2 is energized. To connect the

 

Freedom SW 3000 to a single-phase AC supply, install an appropriate

 

transfer switch to energize both L1 and L2 inputs. Consult a qualified

installer for further support.

AC Output

installers

AC output from the Freedom SW 3000 is 120 VAC, and can be wired as

 

single output or dual output.

 

AC Loads

The Freedom SW 3000 is intended to power loads consisting of 120 VAC

 

appliances.

 

In Invert mode, the Freedom SW 3000 connects L1 and L2 output lines

by

together to provide 120 VAC to loads on either line. In AC Bypass mode,

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Do not connect 240 VAC loads to the Freedom SW 3000 outputs. Doing

 

so may result in 120 VAC on exposed parts of the appliance.

 

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious

 

injury.
