Simple question (I hope):
I have a 190AH 12V LIFEPO4 with a BMS rated 60AMP discharge and 30Amp charge. It is connected to a new 12 volt 2500watt pure SINE inverter (peaks at 5000). Between the two devices I am running the same gauge wire as the BMS Negative wire. The Plus connects to a 40Amp breaker which feeds the inverter - it is a marine grade 40amp resettable breaker and it is popping when I run a small 1500 watt window air conditioner. Should the breaker be 60AMP in this situation?
Thanks!
