Multiplus 12/3000

What is up with the opening for the D/C cables? It doesn’t line up with the terminals and is too small for 4/0, I had to cut the case. Also all the control connections are under the cables? Even if I had room on my buss bar for two 2/0 you can’t get two on the negative terminal with the way the cut out is.

It's times like this where reading the manual helps:



It is never meant to be fed with a single cable.

Ok, well there you have it. And how do they expect to feed two to the negative when they will not fit with the knockout? And I did read the manual thanks.

I thought you were having trouble with two 4/0 cables...

One should be fine, it is rated at 405amps. I just think they could make a note that a properly sized single cable doesn’t fit through the enclosure.

What's done, is done. But. 50mm2 is about 1/0 AWG. How long is your wire run?

They definitely could have designed it better than they did. Seems like the battery cable cutout was an afterthought. Would like to see a more direct run with strain relief.

A pair of 1/0 would suffice for that distance, but a pair of 2/0 will fit.
