Xantrex Technology XM 1000, XM 1800 manual To make a permanent connection to existing AC wiring

Installation

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 local and national electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output leads of the inverter to any incoming AC source.

To make a permanent connection to existing AC wiring:

1.Install the required circuit breaker in the AC load panel (see Figure 3-6 on page 3–20 and Figure 3-7 on page 3–21).

2.Ensure AC power is turned off.

3.Remove the left-hand side AC wiring knockout from the front of the unit.

Important: The applicable installation code may not allow you to run the AC IN and AC OUT wiring through the same AC knockout.

4.Install a supplied strain-relief clamp in the AC knockout.

5.Locate the terminal block.

The two output terminals are labelled as follows:

•N (neutral)

•L (line)

A separate screw is provided to connect the AC output ground.

6.Strip about 2 inches (50 mm) from the jacket of the AC output cable.

The AC output cable may be either solid or stranded, but must have three conductors and sized as in Table 3-3 on page 3–14. (The AC terminal block accepts wire sizes up to No. 10 AWG.)

7.Strip approximately 3/8 inch (10 mm) off the insulation of each conductor.

8.Run the AC cable through the left-hand side strain-relief clamp and into the wiring compartment.

9.Fasten the Ground wire to the grounding screw.

10.Using the 1/8 inch slot screwdriver, loosen the wire attachment screws on the terminals.
