Aims pure sine inverter needs new home

Re: Aims pure sine inverter needs new home

It depends on your use I think...? If you are drawing large amounts of amps but if draw is not so large it is cheaper to use smaller I think..anyway I use 10 ga. solid..there may be a little safety factor there ...if a direct short occured the thinner wire may melt and act as a blown fuse or restrict current flow somewhat by its size...I don't really know, I just run what I brung...It works for me ..even with fridge and micrewave on the wires do not get hot..saves connectors too as I just make a loop on each end for the stud on the bats to join 2 in series( 2-6v trojans) and run one long 10GA solid with loops for every bat stud with a little insulation removed just for that area that attaches to the stud across the + and same for the - side... 12 bats on each level of the rack... each has a seperate line to main bus where panels tie in..heavy GA. cable with jumper cable type spring clamps that came with inverter is just placed on + and - posts in middle bat on top rack...not one connecter in all 52 hook ups..only connectors are on heavy cables that came with inverter...I know DC is inherently resistence sucky but it doesn't seem to matter on my system using the 10GA solid..perhaps if I was running a welder or had mega amp draw but is a 1500 watt inverter for hells sake...I hooked the 110v up to my fence once to keep the mexican illegals out of the yard it.... would just tickle you unless you gripped the wire real tight ..'course if you were barefoot and the ground was wet it might blow your arse right back across the border too...we should be so lucky..eh..?
