Electrical cables made to order?

WESTEND - Thanks - That is who I was thinking of. I too do my own cables... This way I always get what I want... My hand crimper only cost around $60 so that is not too big a deal.

I watch the ebay stores on-line to find good deals on the ENCOR PRODUCT cables and ring terminals.

I'm also into the Ham Radio side of things which requires the same techniques so all makes sense to do my own cables.

I just wish I could do something about the RFI generator signals from installed INVERTERS. Only way i have found to clean them up is put everything in a metal box and use TRANSFORMERS for output power.. the 12VDC input cables always becomes an antenna radiating the RFI no matter what you do to them.

Roy,
Have you tried twisting a ground lead along with the battery cable, something to break the inductive field?
I mess around with audio stuff, building amps, preamps, etc. for the more audiophile type of guy. I've done some crazy stuff to keep signal clean.

Yeah, an isolation transformer is going to be the best for keeping your AC clean. Sometimes, curing an RFI or EMI issue can be a bear with DC. Will a ferrite be effective at the frequencies involved?
I wonder if doing some surgery on the inverter like decoupling the DC input may bring good results.

FWIW, I'm using a Xantrex Prowatt inverter and I haven't noticed a bit of interference. Also, the Xantrex is quiet as a mouse, even pushing loads up to it's limit.
