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.
