total length of conductor has been taken as 2 times the running distance
between the unit and the battery to cover 2 lengths of Positive and Negative
cable conductors).

fuse used for protecting a battery cable against short circuit has to be lower than the
Ampacity of the cable so that the fuse blows before the cable insulation is damaged
due to overheating as a result of fault current higher than the Ampacity of the cable.
The Amp ratings of fuses provided with the Inverter Installation Kits are lower than
the wire size provided with the Kit.
The Kits come with 10ft length of cables to cover battery to inverter distance of up to
10 ft. If the actual cable routing distance from the battery to the inverter is less than
