AC Input Wiring to Inverter
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS FROM THE INVERTER IF THEY ARE
ALREADY CONNECTED.
ALL WIRING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED OR LICENSED ELECTRICIAN.
DISCONNECT THE MAIN BREAKER AT THE MAIN UTILITY BREAKER BOX.
 Install a 60 amp circuit breaker in the utility service panel. This will serve as both an AC
