Listen genius. It doesn't matter the length, because even at 24 feet, the gauge for 30 amps is still 10 gauge. And if you had any reading comprehension skills, you would have realized I am not the one with the broken Onan, and that I mentioned the alternator would be 120vac for my setup, and that my batteries would be 24vdc. I will have 20kWh of battery power and run the AC for over 10 hours, and use the 120vac alternator to produce 3,000W at 1,200 rpm if I need it. Also, the intermittent LRA would only require a 12 gauge wire from the batteries to the inverter. If you are such a great engineer, how come you don't know that continuous current requires larger wires than intermittent current?
Interested in an automotive alternator that does single phase 120v steady 60Hz 3000w continuous at 1,200 rpm do you have more details?
