48v bank, dual inverter question

[Ratel]

I want to connect two 5000 watt 48v Victron Multiplus inverters to a 43000 watt, 48v battery bank. The battery bank is about 9 feet away from where the inverters will be. I'm looking at increasing efficiency and minimising voltage drop.

My aim is to combine their output so that a total 10000 Watts would be usable at 230v.

What is the recommended way to wire these inverters to the battery bank?

What wire gauge would be appropriate for this setup?

Thanks in advance

RTFM. They give wire recommendations for length of runs.

Consult link #5 in my signature. You need to understand the bulk of that document. How you wire those in parallel is critically important and must be done a certain way.

Consider them in series with one boosting the other if your loads are controllable. Means you can shut one down, and no complex integration for parallel.
When configured in Parallel you cannot run only one.

Read the wire sizing docs very carefully, it's how they balance the AC load between them.

If you're putting two AC sources on the same wires you're going to have to do something to ensure they stay in phase.

Do the Victrons support that?
