DC Wire Gauge & Fusing Continued
Make an Inverter Cable Kit
1.
Use 1/0 AWG stranded copper cables in all cases.
NOTE: The maximum recommended length of the inverter cable is 15 ft, and the cable must be fused within 18
inches of the positive (+) terminal of the battery.
2.
Use SGX cross-linked polyurethane insulation type that complies with the high temperature insulation
requirements (125°C.) of SAE J-1127 and vehicle manufacturer requirements. Reference Table 2. For 1/4” ring
lugs, use JST 38-S6.
3.
Torque the DC connections on the inverter to 50-60 lbf·in.
4.
Torque the inverter bonding lug to 45 lbf·in for 6 AWG or 40 lbf·in for 8 AWG.
NOTE: It is useful to use a needle nose pliers to help insert or remove the 1/4x20 screw and toothed washer.
