Basic Installation Procedures AC shore power A source of 120 V, 60Hz sine wave alternating current is needed to provide energy to charge batteries and 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 HW system. The AC source feeding the Freedom HW must have the neutral conductor bonded to ground. When th
