Calculating Cable Sizes for XPower 1750 Plus
To operate safely and effectively, the XPower 1750 Plus needs proper
cables and fuses. Because the XPower 1750 Plus has low-voltage and
high-current input, it is essential that you use low-resistance wiring
between the battery and the inverter to deliver the maximum amount of
usable energy to your load.
For safe and efficient operation, you will need to calculate cable sizes for
your:
•
DC input cables from the battery to inverter (one way)
•
Chassis ground cable from the grounding point to the chassis ground
screw on the inverter’s DC panel.

“DC Panel Connections (XPower 1750 Plus shown)”

WARNING: Fire Hazard
Never use a cable longer than 6 feet (1.8 meters). A cable
longer than 6 feet (1.8 meters) can potentially generate enough
heat to start a fire or result in poor inverter performance.
