How do you install a DC inverter?

Bolt the inverter securely on either a platform or bulkhead. Leave at least one inch of space all around the cabinet and especially above the cabinet for warm air to move out. The inverter face and the side where large DC cables enter should be visible and accessible for ease of wiring, ground fault interrupter testing and status lights viewing.

Where should an inverter be mounted?

Some areas to avoid mounting the inverter are under-the-hood, on the floor over the exhaust system, or in sealed areas where moisture could condense. The ideal inverter compartment should be a clean, dry, cool compartment with some ventilation.

Are inverter AC units new?

Inverter AC Units aren’t new to the world-they’re just new to the US. Ductless air conditioners are far from new; in fact, they’re all the rage in climates that don’t have central AC. Whenever you see a picture of those little outdoor AC units that could fit in a suitcase, what you’re looking at is one example of ductless technology: a mini-split.

How do you mount an inverter on an uneven surface?

When mounting the inverter on an uneven surface, you may use spacers/washers behind the top mounting hole of the bracket. Depending on the angle, use the appropriate size and number of spacers so that the bracket is perpendicular to the ground.

How do I choose the best inverter compartment?

The ideal inverter compartment should be a clean, dry, cool compartment with some ventilation. Note that the inverter cannot share an area where combustible fuel vapors exist because switching components could cause ignition. Corrosive battery fumes should also not be present. Bolt the inverter securely on either a platform or bulkhead.

Does a ductless inverter work with a side-discharge air conditioner?

A whole-home inverter or side-discharge air conditioner is nothing more than a large, ductless, mini-split unit designed to work with a furnace and regular duct work. You’ll find an inverter performs the exact same job as a cube AC, but in a different way and with more impressive results. What gets inverted in a side-discharge air conditioner?
