When connecting the inverter to the power source, it is recommended to use the largest diameter
wire available in the shortest length possible.
The table below recommends the AWG Wire size for each inverter not to exceed .2 volts loss in
the cables connected to the inverter when it is operated at Maximum capacity.
See the Table below for recommendations
