can i use the 10 foot #4 cables on with my inverter?

You would probably be okay with that gauge of wire for that short of a run. HOWEVER! Be sure to fuse the line in case it overloads or should happen to short to ground over time! I used #0 gauge wire for a 15 foot run to the back of a van and regular battery terminals to attach to the dual post battery.

You can but the smaller the gauge the shorter the wire run to the inverter. If you get a 1 ga wire, you can theoretically run the wire a longer distance without losing the effective power range from the inverter. #4 cable 3-5ft to inverter. #1 ga 6-8 ft to inverter. Also, the thicker the copper in the wire, the better.

I think you mean to plug your inverter into one of these outlets. Same rules apply. Check that the inverter is not pulling more than the rating of this unit

From my panels, I go to a junction box. From the Junction I use #4 wires to my DC fuse box. From the fuses ( 4 at all) with #6 to each of my 4 inverters. But the final size depends of your distance from the Panels and the max supplied amps from the panels. Consult a certified electrician in your area...Hope this help..Shifu Castro

You probably can, but the cables should be very flexible (good welders cable). I believe the connecting bolts are 1/4", so 0G are really large. I am guessing that you have to go a long distance to the battery. I have used 6G and 4G for my application, which fit nicely. The inverter is only 600 watt so will draw about 50 amps DC at max load.

I am using the ones it came with. But as for 10 feet? Yes, with the correct gauge wire....as you indicated you would use.

That would be a fuzzy "Yes" these inverts can't be stacked and your "Load" would have to be diverted independently down to the 4 outlets? You'll have to stay on top of you idle time because you'll have X2 depleting your Battery Bank.

I have blown inverters that have matching capacities to the PV's. A good rule is to give yourself extra capacity. Although your PV array is rated at 1000 watts your are probably producing 700watts tops. You are probably wondering if you can get away with using a 1000 watt inverter. I wouldn't risk it. I've done it in the past, but heat is your enemy. Over rate your system with a 1500 inverter and spare yourself the aggravation of living on a prayer. P.s. lengthen the life of your inverter by cooling it with a low wattage fan.

i don't you could use it with your set up, you would probably need a higher amperage version to suit.

it goes by the span of the run so the longer the strech the thicker the cables shoulld be,if its close to the inverter and dont have a constant 5000 watts u should be safe , listen up you have to put a buss fuse in the pos cable around 150 watts,you can find it here on amazon.

Yes. It shouldn't be a problem. All that matters is the voltage. You'll use the appropriate cables, I assume.

You need either that kit or an equivalent, as the inverter does not come with connection equipment. The kit includes the cables and a (very necessary for safety) fuse. If you are replacing an existing inverter and already have cables, then the kit would not be necessary (unless this is a much larger unit and your cables are not properly sized). for 12V 3000W you will need 0000 cable size.

The input is 22-60vdc you will work close to The low limit if tour panel generate les than this voltage your invertir will be off, muy suggestión is add another panel to increase The input. Good luck.

I'm plugged into a standard apartment outlet. The cord and plug on this thing is pretty thick so I probably wouldn't try using an inverter.

Gene,We have a couple of inverters that would work. Are you going to set your system up as a 12 volt or 24 volt system.Joe

The inverter has the cable with MC4 connector as shown in the picture. The other cable has a special connector to plug into the trunk cable (not included)

I don't see why not. Just make sure the total load is within the limits if your inverter.

For the system I worked with, no -- I could not. I was able to place the converter behind the screen. I had received an adapter before, and broke the socket the wire plugged into because I tried to force it into the inverter position.
