The type of wire used between the inverter drive, also known as the inverter, spindle, and VFD is the stranded type and we use between 18 and 16 AWG. The total current is distributed between the three coil wires, so a wire gauge of 16 should be sufficient.
If you are interested in inverter cables or have a few questions wondering about the application of inverter cables. You can take a look at the next part of this article.
First, let's talk about how many sizes of cables are used for different rated inverters. We at PowMr sell the best and best quality wire and cable in the world, so if you are interested, you can talk to our customer service and we will provide the best service to you.
Which wire is used for the inverter?
Power inverters rated up to 1500 watts should use four AWG battery cables, four AWG battery cables are also commonly used for 900W, 1000W, 1100W, and 1200W inverters. If you have a smaller-sized inverter on hand, you don't need to purchase the cable, as the smaller-sized inverters generally have 6 AWG cables.
What size wire do I need to run a 400-watt inverter?
Inverter Size | < 3 ft | 6ft < 10ft |
---|---|---|
400 Watts | 8 | 4 |
750 Watts | 6 | 2 |
1000 Watts | 4 | 1/0 |
1500 Watts | 2 | 3/0 |
Can I use a jumper cable with the inverter?
No, because the jumper cables are not properly connected to the inverter. The best way to properly connect the inverter is to install the ring terminal on the inverter post, which will guarantee the proper operation of the device.
Should the inverter cables be the same length?
No. The inverter cables do not need to be the same length on the front and the negative side. If you need to connect multiple inverters in parallel, the positive and negative cables need to be the same length, but the positive and negative cables do not need to be the same.
What size wire to use for a 2000-watt inverter?
2000w is 166.6 amps @ 12v, or 83.3a @ 24v. Your 2 AWG cable is suitable for 24V, but you should use 2/0 AWG and 12v.
