Installation

Wiring Requirements

WARNING: Shock and fire hazard

Wiring and fuse sizes are governed by electrical codes and standards. Different requirements apply in different countries and to different types of installations, for example, boat, home or RV. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that each installation complies with all applicable codes and standards.

WARNING: Shock and fire hazard

Ensure that wires and fuses or breakered disconnects are correctly sized.

Maximum continuous current available from the charger may be an additional 6–10% above the nominal current rating of the charger.

DC Wiring

The following two tables show some typical wire sizes for various cable length runs, based on 3% voltage drop on DC cables, 75 °C (167 °F) rated wire with wiring being inside the engine compartment – assumed ambient of 50 °C (122 °F).
