IMPORTANT WIRING INFORMATION
Substantial power loss and reduced battery operating time results from inverters
installed with wires that are not sized correctly based on the length and the current
required to be carried. Current flowing through a wire produces voltage drop along
its length due to the resistance of the wire and due to the value of the currentcarried
through it. The resistance of the wire is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional
area of the wire (designated in mm2 or AWG) and directly proportional to its length
i.e. thinner and longer wire has higher resistance and hence, produces higher
voltage drop. Similarly, thicker and shorter wire has lower resistance and hence,
produces lower voltage drop. Hence, symptoms of low DC input voltage / battery
power can result from wires that are either excessively long or have an insufficient
cross-sectional area (designated in mm2 or AWG).
The wires should be sized based on the maximum current they are required
to carry and the distance between the battery and the inverter to limit the
voltage drop to 2% to 5%.
Wires are rated based on its insulation, temperature and operating environment.
Please ensure that the wire insulation is of the appropriate type for the operating
environment.
The installer/operator should be especially aware of the requirements to maintain
secure, tight, water-resistant electrical connections and to provide for strain relief
for DC wires and appliance wiring.
The inverter converts low voltage DC (Direct Current) from a battery or other
DC power source to the standard nominal 120 volt AC (Alternating Current)
household power.
