Step 4: Connecting the AC Input Wires
General AC Wiring Considerations
AC Wiring Connectors
Connect AC wires with twist-on wire nuts or crimp-on splice connectors
according to the type of installation:
• On a boat, use crimp-on splice connectors to meet the American Boat
and Yacht Council’s Standards and Recommended Practices for Small
Craft, which do not allow twist-on connectors for AC connections.
• For non-marine installations subject to vibration, you should still use
crimp-on connectors.
• For non-marine installations in locations not subject to vibration,
twist-on wire nuts may be used instead of crimp-on connectors.
• The amount of insulation you strip off individual wires will be
specified by the connector manufacturer and is different for different
types of connectors.
AC and DC Wiring Separation
Do not mix AC and DC wiring in the same conduit or panel. Where DC and
AC wires must cross, make sure they do so at 90
°
to one another. Consult code
for details about DC and AC wiring in vicinity to each other.
AC Wiring Compartment
For your reference, the AC Wiring Compartment is shown in Figure 10.

WARNING: Fire, Shock, and Energy Hazards
Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before
handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and
national electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output terminals of
the inverter•charger to any incoming AC source.
