Dc Cable Gauge; Connecting The Inverter - Wagan Tech Elite 1000W PRO Manual De Usuario

DC CABLE GAUGE

Minimize cable losses by using the thickest wire available and the shortest
practical length.
Measure Round Trip (RT) cable distances in feet. Round Trip cable distance is
battery to inverter and back to battery. If the application is in a vehicle with
engine operating, use the supplied cables for round trip distances up to 5 feet.
Use a recommended ANL fuse and Fuse holder. Fuse at 125 to 150 Amps. ANL
are quick acting and sealed so they do not spark when they blow. Place fuse no
more than one foot from the Positive (+) terminal of the battery.
RT Length Up to 2 ft
AWG
If the inverter and the battery are positioned within four feet of each other,
a minimum of 7 AWG insulated copper wire should be used to make the
connections. If the distance is longer than 32 inches (2.6 ft), heavier wire will be
required.

CONNECTING THE INVERTER

Loose connections will result in a severe voltage drop that can cause damage to
connectors, conductors, and insulation and can cause sparking. Reverse polarity
connection will blow the fuses in the inverter and can permanently damage to the
inverter. Damage caused by reverse polarity will void the warranty.
Installation procedure:
1. Mount the inverter in a secure location. If the inverter is to be mounted on a
wall, mount it horizontally. Make sure that the front and rear of the inverter
has free air flow.
