Inverter/Charger Installation
Step 4: Wiring the Inverter
| This section provides procedures for making AC and DC connections between the XW | |
| Inverter/Charger and the power distribution panel using the cables that are | |
| the distribution panel. This section also assumes that the XW Conduit Box was installed in | |
| the previous section. | |
| For diagrams and information about installing the inverter/charger without the XW | |
| Conduit Box and XW Power Distribution Panel, see Appendix C. | |
|
|
|
| Important: Communication and signal cables must be segregated from all DC and | |
| AC wiring. Therefore, a small raceway has been included in the design of both the | |
| XW Power Distribution Panel and the XW Conduit Box to separate the | |
| communications cables from the power cables. This is a small raceway run built into | |
| the bottom of both the XW Power Distribution Panel and the XW Conduit Box and is | |
| held in place by a single screw at the top of the raceway. |
|
Installation Tip | Before making the AC or DC cable connections, route the communications cables through | |
| the raceway, but do not connect them to their components until after all the inverter | |
| connections are made. Once the AC and DC connections are made the run becomes | |
| difficult to access. Use different colors for the communications cables (or cable tags) to | |
| help make them easier to identify. | |
Route the communications cables for any accessories being installed BEFORE making AC or DC Connections.
IMPORTANT: When routing communications cables through the XW Power Distribution Panel, the raceway conduit must be used to keep the communications cables separate from the power cables.
