hi everyone. I have my Growatt in hand and reviewing the manual. in battery connection section for the 24v model it recommends a single 2AWG wire(38mm2). that seems small to me.
it has a 6kw 5sec burst capability, and 24v 200amp minimum battery capacity. manual says max of 141amps. based on my crappy math we're looking at 6000w/24v=250amp. that's well above the manual recommendations. granted it's only for a short burst, and my T fuse is going to pop at 200, but 2AWG seems small. am I just being paranoid considering it's 3kw/125amp continuous?
I don't want to have to go with 2/0 or larger if i don't have to simply for the cost, but I also don't want to run too small of primary wire. thoughts?
