WARNING
Limiting Power Draw from 12V Power Outlet in Vehicles:
- Check the Ampere rating of the vehicle fuse powering the 12 V outlet.
- AC power drawn from the inverter should be less than 10 times the Ampere rating of the
vehicle fuse. If higher power is drawn, the vehicle fuse powering the 12V outlet will blow.

8.5 AC SIDE CONNECTIONS

WARNING! Preventing Paralleling of the AC Output
1. The AC output of the inverter cannot be synchronized with another AC
source and hence, it is not suitable for paralleling. The AC output of the
inverter should never be connected directly to an electrical Panelboard / Load
Center which is also fed from the utility power/ generator. Such a connection
will result in parallel operation and AC power from the utility / generator will
be fed back into the inverter which will instantly damage the output section
of the inverter and may also pose a fire and safety hazard. If an electrical
Panelboard / Load Center is being fed from the utility power / generator and
the inverter is required to feed this panel as backup power source, the AC
power from the utility power/ generator and the inverter should first be fed
to a manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch and the output of
the manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch should be connected
to the electrical Panelboard / Load Center.
2. To prevent possibility of paralleling and severe damage to the inverter, never
use a simple jumper cable with a male plug on both ends to connect the AC
output of the inverter to a handy wall receptacle in the home / RV.
8.6 GROUNDING TO EARTH OR TO OTHER DESIGNATED GROUND
For safety, ground the metal chassis of the inverter to the Earth Ground or to the other
designated ground (For example, in a mobile RV, the metal frame of the RV is normally
designated as the Negative DC Ground). An equipment grounding Lug (5, Fig 6.1) has
been provided for grounding the metal chassis of the inverter to the appropriate ground.
When using the inverter in a building, connect 10 mm
copper wire from the above equipment grounding lug to the Earth Ground connec-
tion (a connection that connects to the Ground Rod or to the water pipe or to another
connection that is solidly bonded to the Earth Ground). The connections must be tight
against bare metal. Use star washers to penetrate paint and corrosion.
