First newbie question and more to come.
I am looking at the Off-Grid EG4 System Kit.
✔ 2 x UL 1741 Standard EG4 6.5kW Off-Grid Inverters | 6500EX-48 - Split Phase Optional Output [120/240V]
✔ 6 x 5.12kWh EG4 UL Listed Lithium Batteries - 5 Year Warranty (10 year warranty with EG4-LL!)
✔ Pre-Assembled EG4 Enclosed Battery Rack | 6 Slot (GF1511052)
✔ 2 x Nader 60v 200Amp DC Breaker
✔ 2 x IMO PV DC Disconnect Switch
✔ 2 x ( 1 AWG ) 84 Inch Battery to Inverter Cables
Are the 1 AWG battery to inverter cables limiting the system? According to various wire AWG charts, 1 AWG wire can transmit max of 119A. I understand that temperature will impact the max amps, but lets keep this simple.
I can see on Will's DIY mobile solar power site, he list / recommends the 2/0 cable for his 48v system parts list and this has max transmission at 190A.
Rough / newbie calculation is using the existing kit supplies, 119A x 48v = 5700 watts. For two EG4 units, it would be 11,400 watts. This is obviously less than the 13,000 watts for the combined system. Am I missing anything??
