The illustration below shows which components you may need before you begin
your installation.
AC Wiring Definition AC wiring includes input wiring (all the wires and connectors
between the main AC source panel and the inverter/charger AC INPUT) and
output wiring (all the wires between the inverter/charger AC OUTPUT and the AC
load panels, circuit breakers, and loads).
Type The type of wiring required varies according to the electrical codes or
regulations applicable to your installation. Wiring may be solid in multi-conductor
cables, but stranded wire is required if single conductors are used. All wiring
must be rated 90 °C or higher.
