Id rather retain the current converter. Its easy for me to run another wire or replace the existing.
I mean I was getting 60 amps with both wires.. measuring seperatly the wire I added had more amps running through it..like 38 amps on added wire vs 24 amps on the existing..
But I am not sure if this is a good formula but they do use this technique in the electrical world...
As I said the existing wire has a breaker and the wire I added had no breaker during my test..
As far finding a large breaker a 50 amps is the only one thats available off the shelf... ( walmart).. I think thats sufficient as they dont trip until a certain percentage..
