10 Freedom SW 230V Installation Guide
Planning Preparations
AC Components
NOTE: Unless otherwise referenced specifically by product name,
the components refer to all models of Freedom SW inverter/
chargers.
AC Input
AC input can be supplied from a single-phase 230-volt 50-Hz AC
source such as the utility grid (power company), a generator, or the
output of a transfer switch.
AC Output
The output voltage on Freedom SW inverter/chargers is
230 volts AC. The Freedom SW 2524-230 and Freedom SW 3524-
230 models have a Single Input and Single Output line (SI-SO)
configuration.
AC Loads
The Freedom SW 230V is intended to power loads consisting of
230 volts/50 Hz AC appliances.
In Invert mode, the Freedom SW 230V provides 230 volts/50 Hz
AC to loads connected to Line out. In AC Bypass mode, the source
connected to the AC input is passed through to the load. Only
230 volts/50 Hz AC appliances can be connected to the Freedom
SW 230V output.
AC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection
Device
To meet mobile electrical code requirements, and to protect system
wiring, the AC inputs and outputs of the inverter/charger must be
provided with overcurrent protection on both the AC input and
output. This protection may be a circuit breaker or a fuse with a
disconnect device (for simplicity the following refers to breakers).
Refer to your applicable installation codes and the following
requirements:
AC Input Protection
The breaker protecting the AC input of the Freedom SW 230V must
be approved for use on 230 volts AC branch circuit. The breaker
must be rated no more than 30 amps maximum.
AC Output Protection
The breaker between the Freedom SW 230V AC output and the AC
loads must be rated to protect the AC output wire size used. If the
AC output wiring is based on the full 30-amp pass-through rating,
then a 30-amp output breaker is acceptable. If the AC output wiring
is smaller, then the breaker size will have to be smaller as well, in
accordance with applicable electrical installation codes.
