You may be surprised that what you thought was a tight connection actually pulls out with little
effort. This is caused be a phenomenon called cold flow. Copper is a relatively soft metal and
will continue to move under inadequate clamping pressure. A 20 inch pound of torque takes a lot
of strength! Use the supplied UL listed plastic 2” x 6” spacers to separate AC and DC breakers if
installed on the same din rail. Barriers are required per NEC between AC and DC circuits.
MidNite offers 150VDC breakers in 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,15,20,30,40,50 and 63 amps. AC
breakers are available in 10,15 and 20 amp sizes. Those breakers carry the UL489 and UL489A
branch circuit rating. 30 and 50 amp AC breakers are available in UL1077 listed versions, but are
not branch circuit rated.
For OutBack installations, install the
conduit pieces supplied by routing the
three wires through the door and conduit
before snapping the fittings into place.
Snap the top right angle fitting into place
first and then the one in the door. Once the
length of wire has been established by
opening and closing the door, then cut
back the three wires as required and hook
up to the terminal block. The conduit in the
middle of the inverter is for AC wiring.
The outer conduit is for remote and battery
temp sense wires.
Note: Battery cables in a NEC compliant
system requires cable listed for use in
residential wiring.
For installations requiring the OutBack surge arrestor, see pictures below. Note that this surge
arrestor is only accommodated on the Stretched OutBack E-Panel.
The flex conduit snaps into the sides of the surge arrestor. You will need to get an adapter to go
from the 1” conduit hole in the surge arrestor housing to the ¾” flex conduit. These are readily
available at your local electrical supply store or Home Depot/Lowes.
