EG4 6000XP wire questions

[highlands1234]

Just ordered the EG4 6000XP and finalizing the wire order from windy nation. I am planning on using 1/0 for the battery cable but not sure on whether to get 3/8 or 5/16 lugs, will 5/16 be too small to go over the bolt? Also planning on using 6 AWG for the AC load out, the EG4 breaker will take 6 AWG correct? Also a regular AC breaker 60 AMP will take 6 AWG?

I used 5/16 lugs and worked fine.

5/16 worked on all my 6000xps.

Thanks for confirming, i thought i read on another thread it was too small. Did you use 6 AWG for your ac load on the breaker?

I used 8 gauge and 40 amp breakers.

I used 6AWG THHN for both grid input and load output without any issue on my 2 x 6000xp . Also fits on the PE and Neutral bars if you were wondering.

Great, thanks for confirming!

The 6000XP docs specify #8AWG Cu for the AC side of things.

I recommend using ferrules, too.

I used 6awg for a/c and 1/0 for battery …

I used #6 for all my AC connections on my 2 X 6000XP setup and 2/0 for all DC connections.

Use MCM750 everywhere. Lower resistance.
