Drill and drill bits Pliers Wire strippers

Level Pencil or Marker Multimeter

Wiring

Pre-plan the wire and conduit runs. For maximum safety, run both AC and DC wires/cabling in

(separate) conduit. Direct current wiring, due to its potential to generate RFI, should

be tied together with electrical tape. Wiring and installation methods must conform

to all applicable electrical codes.

NOTE: Run DC cabling in twisted pairs, keeping the runs as short as practical.

AC Connections

Use #10 AWG (or larger) THHN wire for all AC wiring. The inverter’s AC terminal

blocks accept up to #6 AWG wire.

DC Connections

Battery to inverter cabling should be only as long as required. If using #2/0 AWG

cables, do not exceed 5 feet (one way) for 12 VDC systems.

Crimped and sealed copper ring terminal lugs with a 5/16” hole should be used to connect the

battery cables to the inverter’s DC terminals.

AC Grounding

The ME Series inverter/charger contains an internal neutral-to-ground switching

circuit for the AC electrical system.

WARNING: The AC shore power neutral must be grounded ONLY through the shore power cable. Do not

ground AC to the vehicle’s chassis.

DC Grounding

The inverter/charger should always be connected to a permanent, grounded wiring system. For the

majority of installations, the negative battery conductor is bonded to the vehicle’s

safety-grounding conductor (green wire) at only one point in the system. The size for the

conductor is usually based on the size of the largest conductor in the DC system. DO NOT connect the

battery negative (- ) cable to the vehicle’s safety ground. Connect it only to the inverter’s

negative battery terminal. If there are any non-factory installed DC appliances on board

the vehicle, DO NOT ground them at the safety ground. Ground them only at the negative bus of the

DC load center (as applicable).
