SECTION 8 | InstallationAC Ground Terminal (14)• Stud: #6 (UNC, 32 Threads Per Inch)Neutral to Chassis Ground Bonding• Neutral “N” (16) is bonded to the metal chassis of the inverter through a loop of wireconnecting 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-wiringconnection is used to feed the AC output of the inverter to the AC DistributionPanel / Load Center in the vehicle, it is to be ensured that Ground Fault CircuitInterrupter(s) [GFCI] are installed in the vehicle wiring system to protect allBranch Circuits.The following GFCIs have been tested to operate satisfactorily and are acceptable. Othertypes may fail to operate properly when connected to this inverter:Mfr. of GFCI Mfr.’s Model No. DescriptionPass & Seymour 2095 Series NEMA5-20 Duplex 20ALeviton 7899 Series NEMA5-20 Duplex 20AZhejiang Trimone TGM20 Series NEMA5-20 Duplex 20AAC Output Cable Sizing & Conductor Termination for Hard-wiringUse 3 conductor cable with at least 90 C insulation rating. Based on the maximum outputcurrent of 12.5 A for PST-1500 and 16.7 A for PST-2000, the minimum size of each ofthe 3 conductors of the AC output cable should be AWG #12 for both the inverters. Thisis the minimum size recommended in NEC Table 310.17 for up to 20 A over current protection.For firm connection when using set screw type of terminals, use Insulated PinType of Terminals for termination of the Line and Neutral conductors and Non InsulatedRing Type of Terminal for the Grounding conductor. For convenience, the followingterminals have been provided:For Line and Neutral wires: Nylon Insulated, Cord EndTerminals for AWG #12 wireFor Neutral wire: Non Insulated Ring Terminal for #6 stud2 pieces1 pieceUse proper crimping Tool to crimp the terminals to the bare ends of the wire. Make surethat the connections are tight and firm. Please ensure that the AC cable is adequatelyclamped by the metal Strain Relief Clamp (11).Please use the following type designation of AC cord: "SE, SEOO, ST, STO, SJ, SJEOO, SJT,or SJTO."Grounding to Earth or to other designated groundFor safety, ground the metal chassis of the inverter to the Earth Ground or to the otherdesignated ground (For example, in a mobile RV, the metal frame of the RV is normallySAMLEX AMERICA INC. | 35
