What is maximum wire size that will fit the unit? What is the maximum fuse size you can use? Is there a maximum voltage rating for both AC &amp; DC?

It will fit 4ga. Mine already broke btw, can't exactly recommend it. Voltage has nothing to do w/ the wire nor the fuse.

We use ours in our RV and it is plugged into DC and AC at the same time. When we are on the road it runs off DC, but when we are camping it runs off of the AC if we are plugged into electricity. We do have a generator that we will use if we primitive camp. We have never blown a fuse with it yet. We have used it with frozen meat and now are using it for vegetables. The actual draw of amps should be obtainable from the manufacture. There are products out there that will draw less amps, but they are more expensive. When I was pricing them, they were about double the price.

You can never go wrong adding an in-line fuse right of the battery connection. Most professional installs will place a fuse in the first 6-12 inches of wire/cable. The distance of the cable and constant watt draw does matter on the size of wire used. I will be using 4 AWG since I will be running it over 15 feet or so for a permanant mount in my truck. If they are recommending running 8 AWG wiring, it would be a 100 amp fuse by US standards for 12v applications. This would be at a full load.

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

Operating voltage ranged from 10V DC to 30V DC.Juts find a fuse that can stand a draw of 15A and then there you are.

There is no set voltage rating. It is rated to with stand a current of 300amps. I use mine with my car stereo wired to the battery to replace the giant fuse at the battery. And a car battery is 14 volts. The breaker will work fine as long as the circuit doesn't exceed 300 amps in current.

The answer will depend on the size of the AC. You need to know the number of amps that the AC draws.

It depends on what you're feeding it with. Recall that voltatage x current = power. The max peak power of the device is 3000W. If you're using an alternator, go with a 200A fuse--at 14.4V bus voltage, your current will be 208A. Otherwise, go with a 250A for 12V. The absolute max tolerable current is 285A for the 10.5V minimum input, so anything bigger than that is a waste.

These are standard car fuses and the amp ratings are for 12 volt DC circuits. To use for other voltages would require a calculation to determine the amp rating of each fuse. You know the formula is: watts are equal to amps times volts. So a 120 watt load at 12 volts is the max for a 10 amp fuse. Now that same fuse in a 24 volt system with a 120 watt load would max out at 5 amps.

It is rated at DC 12V. Not sure what "AC" power connection you're referring to. So, if you want to connect the wires to a cigarette lighter type plug, it will work fine.

I would, 2000 watts @ 12 volts = 166.6 amps. The hot leg of any circuit (AC or DC) should always be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker. If you don't have a manual on your inverter search the internet to try to find its spec sheet to find out its max load in amps then size your fuse (or breaker) just slightly larger then it's max amp load

I ended up sending this back, it was too big and blew the circuit breaker. So I never had it up and running at full heat. Sorry

Hi, we use it with AC 220 v. current. Cant answer the second question; too technical for me. Perhaps you should ask for technical support at compex usa. For the rest we are very happy with the performance.

the specification for the power unit should be listed on your unit. Personally, i would just order a new tip for yours. I dont recall the specs on this one. i threw it away, as i only wanted the tip and wire.

Hi RickThank you for your question, and this unit has anOutput Amperage , Max Continuous = 100 amps. Maximum Power Output, Continuous= 1440 wattsMaximum AC Current@108 VAC= 13 ampsI hope this was helpful for you and thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

Kiyo, you could used this but the wire is rated for a lower amparage rating. If you are trying to run a higher powered radio, use a larger amp fuse holder for the wire. Another option you could use is to run a relay into your system so you could used the lower amp fuse and then cause this to run your relay. Look up how to wire a relay and that shoud give you what you are looking for.

The supplied fuse is a 20 amp (max 250v) which is alot for the 18AWG wire used in this assembly (a fuse of approx. 1/2 that is more appropiate to protect the 18 guage wire used.
