Power Inverters DC Cables
CABLES ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS MOMENT
We sell pairs (red and black) of four AWG#'s (4; 1; 2/0; 4/0) and six lengths (5'; 7'; 9'; 12'; 15'; 20'). Cables are made of stranded copper, temperature rating 105°C.
Terminals
The type of terminal at the four ends of the pair is a copper lug with a hole for a 5/16" stud.
For those customers who want a specific AWG# and length L, the pair price is obtained from the next selector.
AWG#: Length (ft):
For those customers who just know the inverter nominal power P[watt] and the distance battery-inverter L[feet], and want to determine the appropriate AWG# and pair price, use the next corresponding selector (selectors follow the statement "at more length more cross section area"). See Note.

Power: Length (ft):- Note
-
With those AWG#'s the voltage drop in the pair of cables
combined is around 0.5V or less at nominal power and
for the selected length. Cases with power surge,
even though for inverters with "soft-start", could require
an AWG# that correspond to a higher cross section area in
order to avoid an inverter shut down at the moment of the
surge (even more when the battery is not fully charged).
For those cases the selection should be made using the
power surge in place of the nominal power.
