battery bank to inverter?

battery bank to inverter?

Hello, I am in the middle of a diy solar project for my van. I am going to run 10 gauge from the panels to the charge controller, then 10 gauge from the controller to the battery. I bought a 300W inverter from amazon that came with some thin wires, maybe 16 gauge, and in the manual it says to use a 40 amp fuse. My plan is to get new 8 gauge wire (or would 10 gauge suffice), to handle the 40 amp fuse, and use that to connect the inverter to the battery. On amazon a guy said to use a 50amp fuse as the inverter is rated to 600w surge so it would need to be 50amp to reach full potential as 600w/12v=50a. I am really just confused and do not want to light my van on fire. Any help explaining would be appreciated, and I can upload pics if necessary. Thanks.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
