AC Wiring
WARNING: De-energize all sources of power including batteries (DC), shore
power (AC), and AC generator (if applicable).
AC wiring must be performed by a qualified person or licensed
electrician.
DO NOT connect the inverters output to an AC power source.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Use only the ground-fault circuit
interrupter [receptacles(s) or circuit breaker(s)] specified in the
installation and operating instructions manual supplied with the
inverter. Other types may fail to operate properly when con
nected to this inverter equipment.
Ground-fault circuit interrupters must be installed in the
vehicles wiring system to protect all branch circuits.
CAUTION: DO NOT place AC cabling in the same conduit with DC cabling.
NOTE: Read all instructions and cautionary markings located at the beginning of this
manual and in the pre-installation section, before installing the inverter and
batteries.
The minimum wire size for all ME Series models must be #10 AWG. The
installer must provide the appropriate circuit protection for the wire size used.
Refer to appropriate electrical codes for wire sizing and circuit protection.
AC Input (Shore Power) Routing
Route a 30 amp service (shore power) to the inverter. If the installation includes a
generator, route a 30 amp service (shore power) to an approved selector switch and
then to the main AC panel.
AC Input (Generator) Routing
Route a 30 amp service (generator) to an approved selector switch and then to
the main AC electrical panel.
