center which is also fed from the utility power/ generator. Such a connection
will result in parallel operation and AC power from the utility / generator will
be fed back into the inverter which will instantly damage the output section
of the inverter and may also pose a fire and safety hazard. If an electrical
breaker panel / load center is being fed from the utility power / generator
and the inverter is required to feed this panel as backup power source, the
AC power from the utility power/ generator and the inverter should first be
fed to a manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch and the output
of the manual selector switch / Automatic Transfer Switch should be con-
nected to the electrical breaker panel / load center.
2. To prevent possibility of paralleling and severe damage to the inverter, never
use a simple jumper cable with a male plug on both ends to connect the AC
output of the inverter to a handy wall receptacle in the home / rV.
Ac output connections
for AC output connection, the inverter uses standard, Class 1 grounded mains receptacle
type CEE 7/4 used in Germany, Australia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and finland.
This type is also known as "Schuko" receptacle (5 in figs. 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3). A correspond-
ing Class 1 grounded “Schuko” plug Type CEE 7/7 is required on the power cord feeding
the AC devices to be connected to the inverter. The construction of the “Schuko” recep-
tacle and plug is shown at fig. 8.4 below.
Fig. 8.4: Typical “Schuko Type” Receptacle and Plug
In the “Schuko” receptacle (2), two round female cylindrical contacts (2.1) are internally
connected to the current-carrying conductors of the AC output section of the inverter.
The 2 spring contacts (2.2) on the periphery are for “equipment grounding” connec-
