Hello, I have a question about what sizing/gauge of wire to use going from the battery bank to the inverter. Most would probably say as big as you can go, but I have a specific requirement to meet. I would like to be able to run my toaster oven off my inverter. Here's some data of my planned system:
PV size: 240W
MPPT Charger: 20A
Battery Bank: 12V 225AH (2x 6V)
Inverter: 5000W Pure Sine Inverter (10kW peak)
Toaster Oven: 1200W 120VAC going to be on maybe 40 min a day max.
With the conversion of DC battery power to AC inverter power, won't my amps jump from 10A to 110.4A?
If so, would I not need 1/0 gauge wire from the the battery to the inverter?
The battery bank, inverter and MPPT charger will also be very close together (less than a foot of wire between each).
Thanks for the help!
Cheers
