The National Electrical Code (NEC) (or Canadian Electrical Code) requires that the inverter be
connected to a dedicated circuit and no other outlets or device may be connected to this circuit.
See NEC Section 690-64(b)(1). The NEC (or Canadian Electrical Code) also imposes limitations
on the size of the inverter and the manner in with it is connected to the utility grid. See NEC
Section 690-64(b)(2).
•
The cooling air exhausts at the bottom of the unit. Nothing should block the 4” clear space under
the enclosure defined by the 4” tall mounting feet.
•
A minimum distance of 12 inches (300mm) must be clear above the inverter for ventilation.
•
The inverter must be mounted with at least a 4” open space behind it. Air should be able to flow
up behind the unit from below it to above it.
•
If you are installing the inverter in a utility vault or electrical closet, the air circulation must be
sufficient for heat dissipation – provide external ventilation, to maintain an ambient condition of
less than 50oC. The ambient temperature should be kept as low as possible at all times.
•
Correct mounting position for the inverter is vertical with the mounting feet on the floor. This
diagram shows the basic inverter dimensions (contact us for diagrams of 208-240VAC versions
and forward-facing disconnect versions or CAD files for any unit type):
