Inverter VE.Direct 230V Manual

Depending on the model, the inverter is equipped with one of the following AC outlet types:

AC outlet	AC voltage	Image
IEC-320 (male plug included)	230V
Schuko (CEE 7/4)	230V
UK (BS 1363)	230V
AU/NZ (AS/NZS 3112)	230V

Connecting the inverter neutral output to the chassis/ground

The AC output is isolated from the DC input and the chassis. Local regulations may require a true neutral. In this case one of the AC output wires must be connected to the chassis, and the chassis must be connected to a reliable ground. Inside the inverter a provision has been made to be able to connect the neutral and the chassis; the way to do this is explained below.

Please be sure to disconnect the battery when connecting the neutral to protective earth (PE).

An internal PE wire, which is used to connect the neutral and the chassis, is accessible after removing the plastic cover. A Torx T10 screwdriver is needed to loosen the four screws which hold the plastic cover.

For the 250 VA, 375 VA and 500 VA inverters:

The earth wire from the chassis can be either connected to FJ1 (neutral floating) or to FJ2 (neutral connected to earth/chassis). The labels FJ1 and FJ2 are printed on the circuit board. The default position is FJ1, i.e. neutral is floating.
