Connecting DC Cables
3–15
To connect the DC cables:
1. Cut the cables to the correct length.
2. Strip the appropriate amount of insulation off one end of each cable and
attach the connectors that will join the cables to the battery, battery
isolator switch, or fuse block. The connectors you use must create a
permanent, low-resistance connection.
If you are using crimp connectors, use the tool recommended by the
terminal manufacturer. Make sure no stray wires protrude from the
terminal. (You may find it more convenient to have the crimp
connectors attached by the company that sells you the cable.)
3. Strip about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) from the ends of the cables that will be
connected to the inverter.
