Power Bright ML900-24 - Manuel (Page 8)

When the distance between inverter and battery bank is four to six feet, a
minimum of #6 gauge wire is required.
WARNING: DANGER OF BATTERY EXPLOSION –
INSTALL A FUSE
Battery Banks can deliver very high levels of current that can
vaporize metal, start fires and cause explosions. PowerBright
TM
recommends
installing one ANL type fuse and fuse holder close to the positive battery bank
terminal. This fuse protects the batteries from accidental DC cable shorts,
which can cause batteries to explode. ANL fuses and fuse holders are
available at most marine supply stores.
CAUTIONS :
• Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage
• that can cause damage to cables and insulation.
• Failure to make correct polarity ( Pos, Neg ) connection between the
inverter and the battery bank can result in blowing fuses in the inverter
and can permanently damage the inverter. Damage caused by reversed
polarity is not covered under the PowerBright
TM
warranty.
• Making the connection to the Positive terminal may cause a spark as a
result of current flowing to charge capacitors within the inverter. This is
a normal occurrence.
• Because of the possibility of sparking, however, it is extremely important
that both the inverter and the 24 volt battery be positioned far from any
possible source of flammable fumes or gases. Failure to heed this
warning could result in fire or explosion.
• Operating the inverter without correctly grounding the unit may result in
electrical shock.
