    Pre-Charge Switch

    Filter Guy Quick question, I am building you're pre charge switch, what gauge wire do you use inside the switch? Looks like 10?

    Please help a newbie figure out if I have this setup right

    Smooth One other question which I can't fathom, why do inverter manufacturers send such small gauge wire for the connections? my 3000w comes with 21mm Square wire which I believe is AWG 5. I don't get this.

    Not ferric phosphate due to the charge on the iron atom.

    Ah sorry see what you mean. The Phosphate "ion" PO4 is made up of one atom of Phosphorous and 4 atoms of oxygen. The PO is not polonium, thank god!

    Lithium Iron Phosphate Polonium is deadly, it has been used by Putin to kill his opponents via acute radiation poisoning.

    Believe it or not I have a PH.D! (chemistry) but this stuff get confusing with so many parts to consider. I then look at posts and the advice seems all over the place. 1. So 1/0 wire on all battery connections, yes? 2. This means the t fuse from pos battery to bus bar now has to be 250 amps...

    Smooth if you read this I am trying to make sure I understand you're recommendations of cable size. You mean 4 AWG not 4/0 AWG right? Just as I delve more in to this I keep reading posts on here were people are using anything up to 4/0 to connect batteries with a similar configuration to mine 4...

    3000W inverter emi interference

    I just bought a renology 3000W inverter it says keep away from audio and video equipment. It will be in the same room as a receiver and some set top boxes and two PC’s. Any body have a problem with inverters and emi? Anybody used ferrites on the inputs and outputs to tamper the antenna effect?
