I'm installing a Multiplus II into our RV and am wondering if there's a way to save a spot in my Lynx distributor by crimping 2X1/0 gauge wires into a single 4/0 gauge lug. The Multi is strange in that they actually ask for two runs, dual 1/0's for the length we have (<5 feet). I have no problem doing it, have the wire, but would prefer it if I could put the entire inverter on a single lug of the Lynx distributor; the only way I can think to do that is to crimp both of the 1/0's together into a 4/0 lug. The cross sectional area looks right, and a test fit seems promising, just wondering if anyone has ever done this/recommendations?
It's really strange they specify a 2X connection. Doubled up wires, especially low voltage, can introduce unbalance if everything isn't exactly the same. Also, each of those wires is fused, guess both should have a 100-130A fuse, but, again, any imbalance, you'll blow a fuse if you're under full load.
Thank you for any suggestions/help!!
