6 Freedom SW 230V Installation Guide
Planning the Installation
This section provides information to help you plan for a basic
installation of the Freedom SW 230V.
As your system configuration is determined, record the details in
“Information About Your System” in the Freedom SW 230V Sine
Wave Inverter/Charger Owner’s Guide.
Two Key Performance Factors
Two key factors in particular will have a major impact on system
performance.
Size and Length of DC Cables
To select the appropriate size and length of DC cables, see “DC
Cabling” on page 13.
The DC cables should be as short as possible and large enough to
handle the required current, in accordance with the electrical codes
or regulations applicable to your installation. If there are long
battery cables which are in excess of 3 meters each and not of
sufficient size, the voltage drop across the cables will have a
negative impact on overall system performance.
Mounting Location of the Freedom SW 230V
To choose an appropriate location for mounting the inverter/charger,
see “Step 1: Choosing a Location for the Inverter/Charger” on page
18.
