Inverters 12v dc to 240v ac
	Index

CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE YOUR INVERTER FOR MORE THAN 5 MINUTES OR AT HIGHER POWER USING THESE CABLE SIZES. REFER TO TABLE 5 ON PAGE 16 ????.

Ideally, the cables should be no more than 4 ft (1.5 m) long. See table 2 for a pictorial representation of the wire gauges.

Strip approximately 1/2 inch (1.25cm) of insulation from the ends of the cables being connected to the inverter. Attach 5/16 inch ring terminals to the ends of the wires to be attached to the DC terminals on the 2500W INVERTER. The ring terminals should be crimped with a proper crimping tool.

The other ends of the cables, which are connected to the power source, must be terminated with lugs or other connectors that allow a secure, low resistance connection to be made to the power source. For instance, if the power source is a battery, the cables must be terminated with battery terminals that clamp to the posts on the battery.

Remember! A solid, low resistance connection to the DC power source is essential for proper operation of the 2500W INVERTER.

4.3 Test Loads
Use only equipment rated for 110-120 (or 220-240) volt, 60 (or 50) Hz AC operation that has a power consumption of 500 watts or less. We recommend that you start with a relatively low power load, such as a 100 watt lamp, to verify your test set- up before trying high power loads. We recommend you use a test load which is easily connected to your 2500W INVERTER AC output. For example, use a test load with an AC plug.
