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.
8.5.3.2 AC Output Cable Sizing & Conductor Termination for Hard-wiring
Use 3 conductor cable with at least 90 C insulation rating. Based on the maximum output
current of 12.5A for PST-1500 and 16.7A for PST-2000, the minimum size of each of the 3
conductors of the AC output cable should be AWG #12 for both the inverters. This is the
minimum size recommended in NEC (2014) Table 310.15(B)(16) for up to 20A over current
protection. For firm connection when using set screw type of terminals, use Insulated Pin
Type of Terminals for termination of the Line and Neutral conductors and Non Insulated
Ring Type of Terminal for the Grounding conductor. For convenience, the following termi-
nals have been provided:
