NOTE: for the Reset Button to operate, the inverter has to be in ON condition so that
AC power is available to the internal Line Side of the GFCI
- Test Button: This button is used to test if the GFCI is operating normally. Test the GFCI
periodically to ensure that it is operating normally.
The GFCI will trip due to the following conditions:
- Leakage or ground fault (Leakage of 5 to 6 mA)
- Neutral to Ground bonding (connection) on the load side of the GFCI
!
CAUTION!
1. D o not feed the output from the GFCI receptacle to a Panel Board / Load Center
where the Neutral is bonded to the Earth Ground. This will trip the GFCI.
2. I f an extension cord is used, please ensure that the cord is 2-Pole Grounding Type
8.5.3.1 AC Output Connections for Hardwiring
For connecting the AC output of the inverter to an AC Distribution Panelboard / Load
Center, separate connections are available for hard wiring. Please refer to Fig 6.1. Com-
partment (13, Fig 6.1) contains terminals for AC output. The compartment is covered by
Cover Plate (12, Fig 6.1) with the help of 4 screws. AC output connections are as follows:
Line "L" (15, Fig 6.1) and Neutral "N" (16, Fig 6.1) Terminals.
Please note that Line terminal "L" (15, Fig 6.1) of the AC Terminal Block and the Line
terminal on the Line side of the GFCI are internally connected together at the PCB.
Similarly, Neutral terminal "N" (16, Fig 6.1) on the AC Terminal Block and the Neutral
terminal on the Line side of the GFCI are internally connected together at the PCB
• Hole diameter: 4 mm / 0.16"
• Set screw: #6 (UNF, 40 Threads per Inch) or M3.5 ( Coarse Pitch 0.6 mm)
AC Ground Terminal (14, Fig 6.1)
• Stud: #6 (UNC, 32 Threads Per Inch)
Neutral to Chassis Ground Bonding
• Neutral "N" (16, Fig 6.1) is bonded to the metal chassis of the inverter through a loop of
wire connecting the "N" terminal on the Line side of the GFCI to the chassis of the inverter.
WARNING!
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. When this unit is installed in vehicles and hard-wiring
connection is used to feed the AC output of the inverter to the AC Distribution
Panelboard / Load Center in the vehicle, it is to be ensured that Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter(s) [GFCI] are installed in the vehicle wiring system to protect
all Branch Circuits.
The following GFCIs have been tested to operate satisfactorily and are acceptable. Other
types may fail to operate properly when connected to this inverter:
