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.
