Had to look up nm lol. I’ve only ever referred to it by lb-ft or lb-in. I clearly don’t have much experience with torque wrenches much. So the most I would need is only up to about 25nm, but I’ll need smaller torque for my electrical set up (like for the fuse panels).

Okay…can I borrow your elbow then.

? that’s my backup plan. Great photo!

Why does every single wire sizing chart/calculator I look at give me a different gauge wire for the same ampacity. I've been trying to size the wires for my system for several weeks now, but every chart or calculator gives me a different AWG (sometimes drastically different) for the same...

Okay, so I have 12V system, 2x 200W panels (wired in parallel), 50amp (DC-DC) Charge Controller (10awg connecting those), 2x 100ah lithium batteries, 2000W inverter --the batteries to the inverter is where I'm getting the biggest variances in AWG sizing.

With a 3% voltage drop, the calculator is suggesting 2 AWG wire. The inverter came with 4 AWG (and the company that sent it says that I need 1/0 AWG).

For 4ft of wire and 3% voltage drop, it's showing 2 awg --on this voltage drop calculator anyways?‍♂️

Great, thanks!

Yes, out and back. Possibly 6ft at most -but still suggests the same awg either way

Yep, I like you're thinking. I might even go 2/0 since that was the biggest awg recommended. Why not?‍♂️

I saw a video where Will mentioned the torque wrench and torque screw driver, but I can find where he specifies the exact ones he uses -and it’s not listed on his recommended Tools list. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Joshua
