I am wanting to make sure my math for wire sizing is correct, sometimes I can get 1+1=3…
I have two 6000xp inverters and a rack of EG4 batteries.
My plan is to have a wire run with a fuse from the battery rack to bus bars (5’ long max) then run a separate wire run to each inverter (3’ long max)
From the inverters to the bus bars: 6000/48/.85= ~147A
The bundle I purchased has 1AWG, wire table says 1/0AWG?
From the bus bars to battery rack: 12000/48*1.25 (safety factor)= ~313A
Wire table says larger than 4/0? Maybe my plan needs “adjusted”
I used 12000w thinking if both inverters were maxed out, but I hope I’m wrong. Thank you for any help/comments.
