The wires and fusing is typically determined by your maximum load in amps.wondering if I can use 2 AWG from my 50 amp circuit breaker to batterys and 4 AWG or 6 conecting 40 amp mppt to fuse box and neg bar, or should I keep all the same guage. Thank you.
Since you don't mention system voltage I will assume 12 volts.so I have magnum ps 3ooo, its on my boat and all professionally done all AC and shore power upgrade before I bought the boat. I am adding 400W solar and was going to the batterys direct. so inverter and solar are stand alone, came across two new ancor 48" cables for cheep so thought I would use them for solar connection to batterys approximantly 3' run
Most of the low frequency inverters have non trivial surge capability that can flirt with the fuse's trip curve.I've unfamiliar with low-frequency fudge factor.
I see 88% efficiency, so I would use 1.14x multiple.
Does 355A sound better?
I think 350A is what I have in my 48V system, branching out to 2 inverters.

it is 12 v 4 fl 225 ah in sieres 6 volt batterys. I am here to trying and learn . so, ridculous ? also, i am only conected to ac when at marina otherwise its solar or engine alt charging on sail boat.
Yeah a 3000 watt low frequency inverter at 12 volts is pushing the limits.it is 12 v 4 fl 225 ah in sieres 6 volt batterys. I am here to trying and learn . so, ridculous ? also, i am only conected to ac when at marina otherwise its solar or engine alt charging on sail boat.
The unit in question weighs 55 pounds so its a pretty good bet its got a big transformer.
Puny.And each one of mine weights 2 1/2 times what his puny little inverter does.
The amp draw exceeds the capacity of 4/0 105C wire from the battery bank to the inverter.
Puny.
I hear Arnold saying that.
