DC CABLE GAUGE
Minimize cable losses by using the thickest wire available and the shortest practical length.
Measure Round Trip (RT) cable distances in feet. Round Trip cable distance is battery to inverter
and back to battery. If the application is in a vehicle with engine operating, use the supplied
cables for round trip distances up to 5 feet.
Use a recommended ANL fuse and Fuse holder. See chart below for fuse size. ANL fuses are
quick acting and sealed so they do not spark when they blow. Place fuse no more than one foot
from the Positive (+) terminal of the battery.
