Introduction
Key Features
Power for Most Appliances The Freedom X inverter provides up
to 1000
watts (Freedom X 1000) or 2000 watts (Freedom X 2000)
of continuous utility grade, sine wave power derived from a battery
bank. It is designed to handle loads such as microwave ovens, TVs,
DVD/Blu-ray players, and power tools. In addition, the Freedom
X’s high-surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-start loads,
including full size residential refrigerators.
The built-in transfer switch automatically transfers between inverter
power and shore power from recreational facilities such as boat
docks or campsites to ensure power is always available.
Back-up Capability If incoming shore power is interrupted by
external events like brownouts, the Freedom X automatically
becomes an independent power source
a
that supplies utility grade
AC power to your loads.
Comprehensive Protection The Freedom X’s built-in protection
features safeguard your batteries (from unnecessary drain) such as
the low battery voltage alarm and shutdown and protect equipment
such as a configurable AC transfer speed.
• Selectable Low Battery Shutdown: The low battery
shutdown for the inverter can be manually selected by the
user from 10.0 to 12.8 VDC.
• Low Voltage Shutdown Delay Timer: Configurable from
1 to 300 seconds to reduce an unnecessary shutdown of
inverter operation such as during cranking or other brief
but heavy discharge of battery.
• Inverter Power Save: The Freedom X can be
programmed to automatically turn off after 1 to 25 hours of
continued operation of loads that are under 50 watts. It is
designed, with LBCO (low battery cut off), to prevent the
battery from deep discharge.
Configurable AC Transfer Speed The Freedom X allows two
speed settings for the AC transfer from Grid Mode to Battery Mode
and vice versa which avoids nuisance resetting of appliances. The
normal transfer rate is for common appliances and the faster transfer
rate is designed for more sensitive digital equipment like a desktop
computer.
Overload Alarm and Shutdown During Battery Mode (also
called Inverter Mode), the Freedom X automatically alerts you if the
loads that are connected and drawing power from the unit are close
to approaching the maximum operating limit. If so, the Freedom X
automatically shuts down when the maximum operating limit is
exceeded. See
page 60 for precautions.
a.Assuming the inverter is connected to a battery source with an adequate charge at
the time of the power interruption.

975-0787-01-01 3
Introduction
Over temperature Alarm and Shutdown During Battery Mode,
the Freedom X automatically alerts you if it is overheating and
approaching the over-temperature shutdown limit. The Freedom X
automatically shuts down when the limit is exceeded. See
page 60
for precautions.
Ignition Control The Freedom X provides two user-selectable
options for ignition control:
• Ignition Auto-on: The Freedom X can automatically turn
the inverter on and off in tandem with the vehicle's ignition
circuit or a manually operated remote switch.
• Ignition Lockout: The Freedom X features the ability to
inhibit the inverter from operating in the absence of a
voltage signal from a vehicle's ignition circuit. This is
particularly useful if the inverter is required to operate only
when a vehicle's engine is running.
Configurable AC Output Frequency and Voltage The Freedom
X is factory set to 60
Hz AC output frequency and 120 VAC. It can
be configured to 50
Hz for use in regions outside the USA and
Canada. The AC voltage setting can also be configured to either of
three settings: 120, 110, or 108
volts.

Basic Installation Procedures
Step 1: Designing the Installation
Most Freedom X installations share common components, and
some of these are briefly described in Figure 1.
Figure 1 shows some components and their relationship to each
other in a typical recreational vehicle or

Basic Installation Procedures
This section for use by qualified personnel only.
AC Shore Power
A source of 120 volts AC 60Hz sine wave alternating current
provides energy to pass power through to AC loads. This source is
usually the utility grid (power company) or an AC generator. An
automatic or manual AC source selector switch can be used to
switch between the multiple sources of shore power to the Freedom
X system.
The AC source feeding the Freedom
X must have the neutral
conductor bonded to ground. When the inverter passes shore power
through, it will lift its internal bonding relay on the output and will
rely on the input being bonded in order to ensure that the power
delivered to a sub panel is properly bonded. See “AC Output
Neutral Bonding” on page 15 for more information on bonding
relay operation.
Throughout this manual, the term “shore power” refers
to AC in
put power from a utility grid, generator, or other AC source.
AC Disconnect and Over-Current Protection Device
Most safety requirements and electrical codes require the Freedom X’s
AC and DC inputs and outputs to be provided with over-current
protection (such as circuit breakers or fuses) and disconnect devices.
AC Input: The circuit breaker or fuse (connected through hard
wiring) that is used to supply the Freedom X must be rated at no
more than 30A and must be approved for use on 120 volts AC
branch circuits. The wire used between the breaker and the Freedom
X input must be sized adequately to carry current up to the rating of
the input breaker and in accordance with the electrical codes or
regulations applicable to your installation.
AC Output: The circuit breaker or fu
se must be rated at no more
than the rating of the input breaker in the installation and must be
approved for use on 120 volts AC branch circuits. The wire used
between the Freedom X and the AC output breaker must be of
adequate size to match the AC input circuit breaker’s rating. The
wiring from each AC output breaker to each of the loads must be
adequately sized to carry the current rating of the individual AC
output breaker.
Disconnect Devices: Each system requires a method of
di
sconnecting the AC circuits. If the over-current protection devices
are circuit breakers, they will also serve as the disconnects. If fuses
are used, separate AC disconnect switches will be needed ahead of
the fuses. These will have to be a branch circuit rated for 120 volts
AC and have an appropriate current rating.

14 Freedom X Owner’s Guide
Basic Installation Procedures
AC Distribution Panels
Most systems incorporate distribution centers both ahead of the
Freedom X (the AC source panel) and between the Freedom X and
the loads (the AC load panel). An AC source panel includes a main
circuit breaker, which serves as over-current protection and as a
disconnect for the AC shore power supply line. Additional circuit
breakers serve individual circuits, one of which serves the Freedom
X. The AC load panel can incorporate an AC output circuit breaker
and breakers for individual load circuits.
AC Cabling
AC cabling includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom X, as well as all cabling between the
Freedom X and the AC output panels, circuit breakers, and loads.
The type and size of the wiring varies with the installation and load.
For example, in high vibration environments, such as marine or RV
applications, wire nuts may not be acceptable, so crimp splices
would be required. In other applications, flexible multiple-strand
wire may be required. Installation codes usually specify solid or
stranded, overall size of the conductors, and type and temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire.
AC breakers and fuses must be sized to adequately protect
the
wiring that is installed on the input and output AC circuits of the
Freedom X. All breakers and wiring must be sized and connected in
accordance with the electrical codes or regulations applicable to
your installation. Table 1 gives some examples of wiring sizes based
on the U.S. National Electrical Code and the
Canadian Electrical
Code. These examples are based on using a two-conductor-plusground cable rated at 75 °C, and assuming an ambient temperature
of up to 30 °C. Ensure that your breakers and fuses have suitable
temperature ratings for your wiring. Other codes and regulations
may also be applicable to your installation.

NOTICE
RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE INVERTER
Do not connect the Freedom X to a 120/240V, 3-pole, 4-wire circuit.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or equipment.
Freedom X Series INV Owners Guide.book Page 14 Tuesday, June 27, 2017 4:10 PM
Page 29
975-0787-01-01 15
Basic Installation Procedures
This section for use by qualified personnel only.
AC Output Neutral Bonding
The neutral conductor of the Freedom X’s AC output circuit (that is,
AC Output Neutral) is automatically connected to the safety ground
during inverter operation. When AC utility power is present this
connection is not present, so that the utility neutral (that is, AC
Input Neutral) is only connected to utility ground at your source.
This conforms to the National Electrical Code (NEC), which
requires that separately derived AC sources (such as inverters and
generators) have their neutral conductors tied to ground in the same
way that the neutral conductor from the utility is tied to ground in
only one place. Check the regulations for your specific application
to ensure that the installation will comply with the necessary
requirements. In other words, the AC Input Neutral and Output
Neutral must be isolated from each other.
AC Grounding
As per UL458 SA29.5, for all permanently connected marine
inverters: The Freedom X should be connected to a grounded,
metal, permanent wiring system. Also, make sure that an AC
ground wire is connected to the AC ground terminal on the unit. Do
not just connect the line and neutral wires.
All connections to the unit should comply with all local
codes and
ordinances.
DC Cabling
This includes all the cables and connectors between the batteries,
the DC disconnect and over-current protection device, and the
Freedom X. Most mobile installations require multi-strand insulated
cables for flexibility and durability in high vibration environments
and require disconnects and over-current devices. Electrical wiring
sizes in North America are indicated by AWG notation. In other
parts of the world, the metric system is used. Under the AWG
standard, a larger gauge number indicates a smaller wire diameter.
Wire size is usually marked on the larger sized cables. Table 2
specifies the minimum recommend
ed DC cable size and maximum
fuse size for the Freedom X. The DC cables must be copper and
must be rated 75 °C minimum. The cables should be terminated
with lugs that fit the DC stud terminals snugly (
5
/
16
" hole size).

Code Table 310.17 - 75 °C cables, assuming an ambient temperature of 30 °C cables.
Freedom X Series INV Owners Guide.book Page 15 Tuesday, June 27, 2017 4:10 PM
Page 30
Using the correct cable size is critical to achieving the rated
performance of the Freedom X unit. When starting a heavy load the
Freedom X can draw current surges from the battery of up to 400A. If the
DC wiring is too small the voltage drop from this surge will result in a
voltage at the Freedom X terminals that is too low for the Freedom X to
operate correctly. The Freedom X may appear to operate correctly with
smaller cables until a heavy load such as a microwave or refrigerator
attempts to start - then the unit may work correctly sometimes and not work
correctly other times.
16 Freedom X Owner’s Guide
Basic Installation Procedures
DC Disconnects and Over-Current Devices
The DC circuit from the battery to the Freedom X must be equipped
with a disconnect and over-current device. This usually consists of a
circuit breaker, a “fused-disconnect”, or a separate fuse and DC
disconnect. Do not confuse AC circuit breakers with DC circuit
breakers. They are not interchangeable. The rating of the fuse or
breaker must be matched to the size of cables used in accordance
with the applicable installation codes. The breaker or disconnect
and fuse should be located as close as possible to the battery, in the
positive cable. Applicable codes may limit how far the protection
can be from the battery.
Batteries
The Freedom X uses 12-volt battery banks. Every Freedom X
system is recommended to have a deep-cycle battery or group of
batteries with a total capacity of 100 Ah or more which provides the
DC current
that the Freedom X converts to AC.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs)
A GFCI is a device that de-energizes a circuit when a current to
ground exceeds a specified value that is less than that required to
blow the circuit breaker. GFCIs are intended to protect people from
electric shocks and are usually required in wet or damp locations.
Installations in marine and recreational vehicles require GFCI
protect
ion of branch circuits connected to the AC output of the
Freedom X.
The Freedom X GFCI Device (PN: 8
08-9817) is available to use
with the Freedom X inverter unit.

Step 2: Choosing a Location for the Unit
• Do not install the Freedom X in compartments containing batteries or
flammable materials, or in locations that require ignition-protected
equipment. This includes any space containing gasoline-powered
machinery, fuel tanks, or joints, fittings, or other connections between
components of the fuel system. This equipment contains components
that tend to produce arcs or sparks.
• Do not cover or obstruct the ventilatio
n openings. Do not install the
Freedom X in a zero-clearance compartment. Overheating may result.
The Freedom X should only be installed in locations that meet the
following requirements:
❐ Dry. Do not allow water or other fluids to drip or splash on the
Freedom X. Do not mount the Freedom X in an area subject
to splashing water or bilge water.
❐ Cool. Normal air temperature should be between -4 °F and
104 °F (-20 °C and 40 °C)—the cooler the better.
❐ Ventilated. Allow at least 5 inches of clearance at the DC end
of the Freedom X for air flow, 1 inch on each side, and 2 inches
at the AC end. The more clearance for ventilation around the
unit, the better the performance. Do not allow the ventilation
openings on the ends of the unit to become obstructed.
❐ Safe. Do not install the Freedom X in the same compartment as
batteries or in any compartment capable of storing flammable
liquids like gasoline.
❐ Close to the battery compartment and the AC source and
load panels. Avoid excessive cable lengths (which reduce input
and output power due to wire resistance). Use the
recommended cable lengths and sizes, especially between the
battery banks and the Freedom X.
❐ Protected from battery acid and gases. Never allow battery
acid to drip on the Freedom X or its wiring when reading
specific gravity or filling the battery. Also do not mount the unit
where it will be exposed to gases produced by the batteries.
These gases are very corrosive, and prolonged exposure will
damage the Freedom X.

Step 4: Connecting the AC Input Wires
General AC Wiring Considerations
AC Wiring Connectors Where applicable, connect AC wires
with crimp-on splice connectors. The amount of insulation you strip
off individual wires will be specified by the connector manufacturer
and is different for different types of connectors.
AC and DC Wiring Separation Do not mix AC and DC wiring
in the same conduit or panel. Where DC and AC wires must cross,
make sure they do so at 90 to one another. Consult applicable codes
for details about DC and AC wiring in close proximity to each other.
AC wiring includes all the wires and connectors between the AC
source and the Freedom X and all wiring between the inverter, the
AC panels, and circuit breakers. The type and size of the wiring
varies with the installation and load. For some RV applications,
flexible multiple-strand wire is required.
AC wiring must be sized appropriately to carry full load current on
the input and output AC circuits in accordance with the electrical
codes or regulations applicable to your installation.
Table 4 is based
on the U.S. National Electrical Code and the Canadian Electrical
Code, assuming two-conductor-plus-ground cable, using 75
°C
wiring, at an ambient temperature of 30
°C. Other codes and
regulations may be applicable to your installation.
WARNING
FIRE, SHOCK, AND ENERGY HAZARDS
Make sure wiring is disconnected from all electrical sources before
handling. All wiring must be done in accordance with local and national
electrical wiring codes. Do not connect the output terminals of the
Freedom X to any incoming AC source.

Basic Installation Procedures
This section for use by qualified personnel only.
To make the DC connections
Refer to Figure 5.
1. Make sure the inverter is off and no AC or DC is connected to
the unit.
2. Remove the DC compartment cover by loosening the captive
nut panel screw.
3. Loosen the DC terminal nuts from the terminal bolts and set
them aside for later.
4. Strip ½" (13 mm) to ¾" (19 mm) insulation from one end of
each cable. The amount stripped off will depend on the
terminals chosen.
5. Attach the connectors that will secure the cables to the battery,
to the disconnect/battery selector switch, and the fuse block.
The connectors you use must create a permanent, lowresistance connection. It is recommended to use approved and
certified cable lugs. Use the tool recommended by the terminal
manufacturer. Make sure no stray wires protrude from the lug
or terminal.
NOTE: You may find it more convenient to have the cable lugs
attached by the company that sells you the cable and/or
connectors.
6. Strip ½" (13 mm) to ¾" (19 mm) of insulation from each cable
end that will be connected to the inverter cable. The amount
stripped off will depend on the terminals chosen.
7. Attach the cable lug that will join the cable to the inverter DC
terminal. Cover the lug stem with heat shrink insulation (see
Figure 5) to ensure that the lug does not touch the enclosure.
8. Install a fuse and fuse holder in the cable that will be used for
the positive side of the DC circuit. The fuse must:
• be as close to the battery positive terminal as possible
• be rated for DC circuits
• have an Ampere Interrupting Capacity (AIC) that exceeds
the short-circuit current available from the battery (that is,
Class T fuse)
9. To prevent sparking when making the connection, ensure the
disconnect/battery selector switch is off.
10. Route the positive cable through the left side strain relief clamp
and attach the cable lug on the positive cable to the positive DC
terminal on the inverter.
11. Fasten the DC terminal nut (set aside earlier) to the terminal
bolt. Tighten the nut to a torque of 71–80 in-lbf (8–9 N-m). Do
not overtighten. Make the connection snug enough so the cable
lug does not move around on the DC terminal. Center it through
the DC knockout hole and do not let it touch the edge. See
Figure 5, “DC Cable Connections” on page 28.

Basic Installation Procedures
12. Before proceeding, double check that the cable you have just
installed connects the positive DC terminal of the inverter to
the disconnect/battery selector switch, fuse holder, and that the
other end of the fuse holder is connected to the positive
terminal of the battery.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
Tighten the nuts on terminals properly. Loose connections cause excessive
voltage drop and may cause overheated wires and melted insulation.
Do not over-tighten the nut on the DC input terminals. Damage to the DC
input terminals may result. The maximum torque setting is
80 in-lbf (9 N-m)
.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or equipment.
NOTICE
REVERSE POLARITY DAMAGE
Check cable polarity at both the battery and the Freedom X before
making the final DC connection. Positive must be connected to positive;
negative must be connected to negative.
Reversing the positive and negative battery cables will blow a fuse in the
Freedom X and void your warranty.
Failure to follow these instructions can damage the unit and/or equipment.

13. Route the negative cable through the right side strain relief
clamp and connect the cable from the negative post of the
battery to the negative DC terminal of the inverter.
14. Fasten the DC terminal nut (set aside earlier) to the terminal
bolt. Tighten the nut to a torque of 71–80 in-lbf (8–9 N-m). Do
not overtighten. Make the connection snug enough so the cable
lug does not move around on the DC terminal. Center it through
the DC knockout hole and do not let it touch the edge.
15. Replace the DC compartment cover.
DC Grounding
To connect the DC ground:
The equipment grounding lug on the DC end of the Freedom X is
used to connect the chassis of the Freedom X to your system’s DC
negative connection or grounding bus point as required by electrical
regulations. Use copper wire that is either bare or provided with
green insulation. Do not use the DC Ground Lug for your AC
grounding. See the AC wiring instructions in this section.
Follow the guidelines below that correspond to the specific type of
installation. These guidelines assume you are using the DC supply
cable and fuse sizes recommended in this manual. If you are using
different sizes, refer to the applicable installation code for DC
grounding details.
Recreational Vehicle Use 8AWG copper wire and connect it
between the Chassis Ground lug and the vehicle’s DC grounding
point (usually the vehicle chassis or a dedicated DC ground bus).
Marine Use copper wire that is bare or has insulation rated
minimum 105
°C, and connect it between the Chassis Ground lug
and the boat’s DC grounding bus or engine negative bus. For the
Freedom X 1000, use a wire of gauge 3AWG minimum. For the
Freedom X 2000, use a wire of gauge 1/0AWG minimum.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Do not complete the next step if flammable fumes are present. Explosion
or fire may result if the disconnect/battery selector switch is not in the off
position. Thoroughly ventilate the battery compartment before making
this connection.

Step 8: Testing Your Installation
There are two tests to be performed. The first test verifies that the
Freedom X is inverting DC battery power and delivering AC power
to its output.
The second test is intended for installations where AC input and
out
put is hard wired to the Freedom X. This test verifies that the
Freedom X transfers from inverter power to shore power when
shore power is present.
NOTE: Shore power (pass-through) refers to the AC input power
from a utility grid, generator or external AC source.
When you are ready to test your installation and ope
rate the
Freedom X, close the DC fuse and Disconnect or the DC circuit
breaker to supply DC power to the Freedom X.
Testing in Battery Mode
To test the Freedom X in invert mode:
1. For hard wired installations, ensure shore power is not present.
2. Press the Power button to turn the inverter on.
The green LED indicating Battery mode (Inverter mode) turns
on
.
3. Plug a test load, such as a lamp within the power rating of the
in
verter into the Freedom X GFCI or an AC outlet hard wired
to the Freedom X.
4. Turn the lamp on to verify that it operates.
If the lamp operates, your installation is success
ful. If your
installation has AC input and output hard wired to the Freedom X,
proceed to “Testing in Grid Mode”.
If the status LED on the display panel glows red, see the
T
roubleshooting chapter.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Pressing the Power button to turn OFF the Freedom X inverter function
on display panel does not disconnect DC or AC input power to the
Freedom X. If shore power is present at AC input terminals, it will pass
through to the AC output.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious injury.

Basic Installation Procedures
Testing in Grid Mode
To test the Freedom X in shore power mode:
◆ With the test load from the previous test still connected and
operating, connect the shore power source.
The Freedom X transfers the test
load to shore power. The
green LED indicating grid mode turns on.
If the test load operates, your installation
is successful.
NOTE: If the Power button on the Freedom X is turned ON, the
Freedom X will automatically supply the appliances with inverter
power if the shore power source fails or becomes disconnected.
If the Power button on the Freedom X is turned ON and shore
pow
er voltage is too low (less than 90 volts AC), the unit will
transfer to inverter power to continue running your appliances.
NOTE: Whether or not the Power button is turned ON, shore
power will pass through the Freedom X to the output when shore
power is within normal operating range.
NOTE: In the event of low or no battery voltage, shore power will
pass through the Freedom X to the output even when shore power
is outside the normal operating range.

the end of the countdown timer the inverter automatically shuts
down.
To change the countdown timer, see “To change the default value to
a different value:” on page 49.
Power Save Mode: By enabling the power save mode, the
inverter can automatically go to load sense mode by sending short
pulses to further reduce the battery discharge. Power save mode
ends when a load greater than 25
W is connected.
Checking Battery Status
During inverter operation (in battery mode), you can check the
battery status by observing the battery capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery voltage appears in the left side of LCD
screen.
The normal operating battery voltage range is between 11 and
15
volts.
Checking Output Power
When the inverter is in operation (in battery mode), you can check
how much power (displayed in kW) the Freedom X is supplying to
the connected loads by observing the load capacity indicator on the
LCD screen. The battery discharge amperage appears in the right
side of the LCD screen.
Operating Several Loads at Once
If you are going to operate several loads from the Freedom X, turn
them on one at a time after you have turned the inverter on.
Turning loads on separately helps to ensure that the inverter does
not have to deliver the starting current for all the loads at once, and
will help prevent an overload shutdown.

Operating During Transition Between Grid Mode and Battery Mode
The Freedom X’s advanced power management is capable of
transitioning power from an AC source to DC source within a
fraction of a second and vice-versa.
The Freedom X automatically detects when shore power is present
and when it becomes unavailable or drops to less than 90
volts AC.
The transfer time can be set to two settings. For details see
“Adjusting Feature Settings in Configuration Mode” on page 45.
Transitioning from Grid Mode to Battery Mode
When the unit is operating in grid mode and shore power is lost, the
Freedom X has less than 20 milliseconds (default) to switch to
operating in battery mode (if the Power button is pressed in the On
position) and starts drawing power from the battery.
The operating mode indicator will change to Battery Mode and the
green Status LED for Battery Mode will light up.
However, if the Power button is in the Off position, this transition
does not happen and the display panel turns off.
Transitioning from Battery Mode to Grid Mode
When the unit is operating in Battery Mode and shore power
becomes available, the Freedom X begins a 20-second countdown
to verify the stability of the shore power. If shore power remains
stable for a 20-second countdown, at the end of the countdown, the
Freedom X will switch to shore power mode within 20
milliseconds
and start drawing power from the AC source.
The operating mode indicator will change to grid mode and the
green Status LED for grid mode will light up.
NOTICE
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
When the transfer mode is set to , connect only sensitive digital
equipment that requires fast AC transfer times.
Appliances with motors, compressors, and heating elements do not
require a transfer mode of . Set for these devices to avoid
damaging the transfer relay.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause equipment damage.

Inverter Applications
The Freedom X performs differently depending on the AC loads
connected to it. If you are having problems with any of your loads,
read this section.
Resistive Loads
These are the loads that the inverter finds the simplest and most
efficient to drive. Voltage and current are in phase (that is, in step
with one another). Resistive loads usually generate heat in order to
accomplish their tasks. Toasters, coffee pots, and incandescent
lights are typical resistive loads. It is usually impractical to run
larger resistive loads—such as electric stoves and water heaters—
from an inverter due to their high current requirements. Even
though the inverter can most likely accommodate the load, the size
of battery bank required would be impractical if the load is to be run
for long periods.
Motor Loads
Induction motors (that is, motors without brushes) require two to six
times their running current on start up. The most demanding are
those that start under load, for example, compressors and pumps. Of
the capacitor start motors (typical in drill presses, band saws, etc.),
the largest you can expect to run is ½ hp (the transfer relays are
rated at 2 hp). Universal motors are generally easier to start. Since
motor characteristics vary, only testing will determine whether a
specific load can be started and how long it can be run.
If a motor fails to start within a few seconds or loses power after
running for a time, it should be turned off. When the inverter
attempts to start a load that is greater than it can handle, it will turn
itself off after a few seconds.
Long Transfer Times The Freedom X may take a long time
(~ 0.1–0.2 seconds) to transfer to Battery Mode when shore power
is cut off while powering a motor load. Motor loads typically
“freewheel” when power is removed (for example, a grinder) and
causes a longer transfer time. The longer transition from shore
power to inverter power may cause connected computers or other
sensitive equipment to operate incorrectly. To avoid this effect, do
not connect motor loads together with sensitive equipment to the
inverter for power.
