INSTALLATION

Note: The three neutral terminals are common to each other and can be used in any combination or order. In a residential application, it is often easier to only connect one AC neutral wire to the inverter and make the other neutral connections at a central point such as in the AC load center, etc. In mobile installations, the AC system must have the neutral physically isolated from the ground throughout the load distribution powered by the inverter. The SW Series Inverter/Charger does not include neutral to ground switching for the AC electrical system. This must be done externally from the inverter. See the NEUTRAL- TO-GROUND BOND SWITCHING (RV AND MARINE APPLICATIONS) section on page 27 for more information.

Before making any AC connections, make sure that the inverter is disconnected from the battery (or battery bank). Feed the wires through conduit fittings located on the left side or left bottom side of the inverter. (Note: Conduit fittings must be purchased separately and are required by code to comply with residential and commercial installations).

The AC wiring both in and out of the inverter must also be protected from short circuits and overloads by a fuse or circuit breaker. Consult the NEC or your local code for more information and for other wire sizes. Table 13 on page 132 gives suggestions for wire sizing. Follow the wiring guide on the circuit board inside the cover plate (see Figure 9, above). Connect the AC wiring as follows (from front to back when wall mounted):

SW Series specifications

Xantrex Technology has established itself as a leader in innovative power solutions, and its SW Series inverters epitomizes this commitment to quality and efficiency. Designed for both standalone and grid-tied applications, the SW Series offers versatile power management for a range of residential and commercial needs.

At the heart of the SW Series is its advanced pure sine wave output, ensuring clean and reliable electricity suitable for sensitive electronics. This feature makes it an excellent choice for applications such as solar energy systems, where it provides high-quality power for a variety of devices, from household appliances to complex machinery.

One of the key characteristics of the SW Series is its modular design, which allows for easy installation and scalability. This modularity enables users to expand their power system as their energy needs grow, making it an ideal choice for both small and large installations. The inverters come equipped with a user-friendly interface, providing clear information on system performance, battery status, and more, ensuring that users can effectively monitor and manage their energy consumption.

The SW Series inverters also incorporate cutting-edge technology, such as the patented Power Factor Correction (PFC) feature, which optimizes energy efficiency by reducing harmonic distortion. This translates into less wasted electricity and lower energy costs, making it an environmentally friendly option for users looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

Another notable feature of the SW Series is its ability to operate in extreme conditions. Built with robust components and advanced thermal management systems, these inverters can withstand a wide range of temperatures and environmental challenges, ensuring reliable performance in various settings. This durability makes them suitable for off-grid applications, including remote cabins, RVs, and boats.

Furthermore, the SW Series supports a variety of battery types, including lithium-ion, AGM, and gel batteries, offering flexibility for users to choose the best energy storage solution for their needs. The sophisticated battery management system ensures optimal charging and discharging, prolonging the lifespan of the batteries and enhancing the overall efficiency of the power system.

In summary, Xantrex Technology's SW Series inverters stand out for their pure sine wave output, modular design, energy efficiency features, and robust performance in challenging conditions. With their versatility and advanced technology, they cater to the evolving needs of today’s power consumers, making them a compelling choice in the modern energy landscape.
