can i run 0 gauge wire into it and out of it

It's not likely you'll find 0 awg wire lugs with #10 holes. If you do, stack the terminals. There are much better options though.

The lug posts are close together, so I would look for a longer strip to have a nice wire run that is not crowded. 0 gauge is just to large for your needs.

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

I wouldn't. The size is probably slightly to small. I have spent a lot of time with 4 and 0 gauge and the best way is still just a razor blade. be careful but you will have the best cuts without any wire coming off.

It's pretty straight forward just keep in mind that you should use at least 10 gauge wires to connect unit to 12v battery,if you use wire less than that you could have a problem as with any of these units.

My wire is 18 gauge. The wire gauge doesn't matter as there isn't any current going through it. The coating on the outside needs to be able to be buried (ground contact wire) which this is. there isn't any stress on the wire so it doesn't need to be thick, thicker wire will be harder to use when installing. Bottom line don't worry about this wire. I installed this wire 15 years ago and only just needed to do it again since we re-landscaped our yard and tore up the old wire. I figured new wire was better than a bunch of splices. good luck.

You can cut the wire and hard wire in a box. The wire is low gauge so it breaks easily mine are just plugged in.

I think it should fit but may look kind of a sloppy installation. I got this to use with 0 gauge wire but decided to use 2/0 wire and it worked nicely. Remember the heavier wire the less voltage drop at higher amps.

I would mount unit within 10 Ft max, I used a cobra wire kit. I used quality extension cords to get power where I needed it as it was a lot cheaper than purchasing 0 gauge wire.

I don't believe you can. Might be able to run a small MIG welder to run off the A.C. side. The D.C. output is limited to 12 volts. No capability to adjust the amperage like you would need for a welder. No lugs for welding cables. Too small to run a cracker box welder.

No, it is stranded wire, but can't remember the gauge. I've used it for many projects and have found that is capable of handling at least 3 amps current.

you should use 12 gauge wire, but you could use 16 gauge if not running long distance.

Yes you can. Just cut the wire and put positive to positive and negative to negative. Source: I did something similar like that before

No! It is way too small a gauge wire to handle the amperage draw to start an engine.

I would get a 4 gauge wireing kit, brand doesn't really matter as long as it's good quality and is a true 4 guage kit. It would probably cost around 30-40$

NO! I had to work at getting 4/0 wire in the connectors. I believe they make one for 1/0, just make sure it specifies it.

You can wire it directly to it. That's how I did mine and haven't had any issues.

Yes, it should to wire you will need 4 Gauge wire to run to the battery and place were its dry in vehicle . I got a Power Drive 1500 inverter that comes with the wiring included for a little more money, because 4 Gauge wire is not cheap. that I run in my semi truck and never had a problem.
