Why Use Such Large Cable?
Low voltage power systems with inverters can have
very high current flows in the cables that connect the inverter to the
batteries. Large AC loads like microwave ovens, toasters, irons and
washers can cause an inverter operating on a 12 volt battery to draw
over 100 amps. Large motors may draw 300 - 500 amps at startup. Using
the proper size wire between batteries, and from batteries to the
inverter, will enable proper operation of the appliance. Cables that
are too small will limit the current available to the inverter and may
prevent a large load from operating. |

Battery to Main Load Center Cables
Use these cables between a battery bank and an inverter, fuse or power
center. They have flexible stranded UL Listed copper wire and 3/8" diameter
lugs. Lug barrels are covered with glue-filled heat-shrink tubing. Cables
are marked in red and black heat-shrink at each end.
Use cables with 1 lug to connect a Xantrex DC Disconnect to a battery or
anywhere the wire will be attached to a compression connection.
Please note, with the new electrical codes that all DC
negative connections are WHITE and no longer black. Even though the
new wire part numbers indicate white, black ended wires may still be shipped
to you. You are allowed to mark your black cables with white
tape at both connecting ends so that you can comply with code.
Once our stock of black ended wires is depleted we
will be shipping the new code compliant wires with white ends. |

SB Connectors
The Anderson SB connector has been the #1 quick disconnect for over
20 years for battery powered vehicles and fork lifts. Use them to make quick
disconnects on battery or inverter cables. Two connectors of the same size
and color will mate.
The 50 amp version is ideal for PV arrays and motors. The 175 and 350
amp units are used on battery and inverter cables. 175 amp connectors fit
1/0 wire. Contacts must be crimped or soldered. We stock the following
colors in the larger versions: yellow (Y) for 12V, red (R) for 24V, blue (B)
for 48V.
The 50 amp connectors come with terminals for up to #6 wire and are
available in gray only. Order two of the same size and color to mate.
