Installation
Installation
CAUTION: Before installation, closely read and review all safety
information and procedures in this guide and in your inverter
owner’s manual.
WARNING: The inverter uses power from both AC and DC sources.
Before beginning the installation, ensure all AC power (utility/gen-
erator) and any negative/positive battery cables are safely discon-
nected from the inverter.
Review the simplifi ed system diagram shown in Figure 4 to assist you in
planning and designing your installation. This drawing is not intended to
override or restrict any national or local electrical codes. This drawing should
not be the determining factor as to whether the installation is compliant,
that is the responsibility of the electrician and the on-site inspector.
Safety Requirements
•
The MS-CEFB should be reliably and permanently grounded (i.e., earthed)
to the system’s earth terminal. No plug or socket connection of the ground
wire is allowed.
• The EMI (electromagnetic interference) fi lter should be grounded before
connecting any power to the MS-CEFB. This bleeds relatively high leakage
currents through the fi lter common-mode capacitors to safety ground,
and removes hazardous voltage potentials from the fi lter body.
Installation Considerations
• In all installations, the inverter and the MS-CEFB should be installed
on the same metallic ground plane. Ensure all metal mating surfaces
used for connecting the inverter to the MS-CEFB are clean of paint, oil
or grease.
• It is recommended that equipment sensitive to EMI should be kept at
least 25 cm away.
• Any communication cable (remote, network, stacking and BTS) should
be separated from the AC IN and AC OUT power cables. Parallel runs of
cables should be avoided when possible. Cross-over of all cables should
be done at 90 degrees.
Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the MS-CEFB fi lter box from the shipping container and
inspect all contents. Verify the following are included:
• MS-CEFB
fi lter box
• Ferrite core
• DC terminal insulators (one black, one red)
• MS-CEFB Owner’s Manual
If items appear to be missing or damaged, contact your authorized Magnum
dealer or Magnum Energy. Save your proof-of-purchase as a record of ownership;
it will be needed if the unit should require in-warranty service.
