DC Cables
For the best load starting performance, the DC cables should be as short
and large as possible. See Table 2-1 for minimum recommended cable
size. Using a smaller cable may cause the inverter to shut down under
heavy load. A larger cable may be used.
DC Fuse and Disconnect or DC Circuit Breaker
If you are using a DC fuse and Disconnect, a maximum 80 amp Class T
fuse shall be used for the DC fuse. A fuse of lower rating can be used, but
it shall not be lower than 60 amp Class T. The Disconnect shall be rated at
least 50 amps.
Alternately, a DC circuit breaker rated 50 amps can be used.
