Preparing cable termination for inverter end
• The cables provided in the kits have copper ring
terminals on both the ends.
• The ring terminal may not fit the DC input
terminal on the inverter and may need to be
reshaped / replaced with cable lugs provided
with the inverter.
• Some inverters require Pin Type of terminal lugs
to fit DC input connectors with a cylindrical
hole and set screw. As the terminal lug fitted on
the cable is made of copper which is malleable,
it can be beaten with a hammer to form a
pin shape of the required diameter to fit the
cylindrical hole.
• It may be necessary to remove the cable lug and
crimp the new lug provided with the inverter.
A. Identify the Positive & Negative cables
• Positive cable: red color with terminal lugs at
each end as in fig. 3.1.
• negative cable: black color with terminal lugs
at each end as in fig. 3.2.
B. Connect one end of the Positive cable to the
Positive terminal of the inverter (usually red in color).
The terminal lug may need to be shaped/replaced to fit
the inverter terminal (see details above).
c. Identify the components of the fuse Assembly.
refer to figures 3.3 to 3.6.
D. Place the Mrbf fuse onto the stud provided on
the CfbAr. See fig.3.7.
e. Next, place the cable lug (crimped to the free end
of the Positive cable) onto the CfbAr stud so that it sits
over the fuse Mrbf. See fig. 3.8.
F. Next, attach the flat washer, the spring
washer and the M-8 nut on to the CfbAr stud and
tighten the nut with a ½” wrench. See fig. 3.9.
G. Slide the Insulating Cap onto the rectangular strip
of the CfbAr and then place the hood portion over the
exposed portion of the stud of the CfbAr. See figures
3.10 and 3.11.
