Hi, So my generator quit working on me the other day. Until I can find some help to pull it out of my RV and change the starter I've been using my inverter. I've got a 3000W GoPower pure sine wa...

four-ought cable is not the cure all either. the rather reliable technical manual for the 2800 watt inverter installed in my rv recommends DOUBLED four-ought for long runs. x2 on what Matt says, a run is round trip length, so 6ft cable is a 12ft run - often overlooked.
In my rig, the Highpoint micro with 1000 watt RF output, 1400 watt AC input reads 130 amps roughly on my inverter. who knows what the startup surge is, I don't have a peak-hold meter, but it could be double that number for a few milliseconds. I'm using 4/0 cable, about 7 feet total round trip, including the 4/0 cable links between each battery.
