answer 2

The input will need be equal to or greater than 5000 watts (416 amps) from a 12 volt source. If you are concerned that you will not have enough power to run this unit, I would suggest going to a smaller inverter.

Question

What size power cables should be used to connect from the battery in the front of my truck to the rear where the inverter will be mounted?

My total length of run from the battery to the rear of the truck bed is 25 feet. I was thinking of running 2 guage or 1/0 power cables. Will this be sufficient?

We always recommend that the inverter be placed as close to the battery as possible and any additional distance be covered on the A/C side of the inverter because of the high amperage that is needed and the potential voltage drop that can occur in the distance between the inverter and the battery or batteries. If you place a 5000 watt inverter 25 ft. from the battery I would recommend using high quality 4/0 wire. Also it is important that this circuit be fused within 12" of the battery.

While it may be possible to mount this inverter in an engine compartment, we recommend that it be kept in a location that has plenty of ventilation for the inverter to cool and is free of moisture and dirt as these things can cause premature failure of the unit and a potentially hazardous situation.

Yes, the performance of an AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery, makes it a great choice for operating an inverter. Keep in mind that the Ah (Amp/hour) rating of the AGM battery will determine how long the battery will provide power to the inverter on a full charge.

Question

Are the 20A circuit breakers slow break?

I have a 1.5HP motor that I would like to power. It has 16 full load running amps. The power required to start (inrush) is between 5.4 KW and 8.2 KW depending on the power factor of the motor (starting pF is not published but is generally between .4 and .6) Would the 20A circuit breaker be able to handle this?

answer 1

If using with your vehicle, the 5000 Watt NPower Inverter would draw directly from the battery, up to 5000 continuous watts, until the battery was drained. The alternator in your vehicle(sizes vary depending on vehicle) will recharge the battery while the car is running, and generally will give slightly more power the higher the RPM of the engine. If the device(s) being powered by the inverter are less than what the alternator is producing at idle, the battery would always stay charged without revving the engine. If drawing more than the alternator can produce, you would begin to drain the battery.

I will work at idle without a problem! It just has to see the voltage, HOWEVER, you DO NEED to provide adequate cable/power/amps to this inverter directly from a battery(s). I am using 4/0 welding cable directly connected to a Deep Cycle marine battery 2 feet away from the invery PLUS running the 4/0 cable up to the engine compartment batteries. Under full load, this inverter is EXTREMELY power hungry and will trigger the Low Voltage alarm or shut down if it doesn't see enough volts and current!

This NPower digital inverter is made in our facility in China, to ensure it is high quality, we provide the builder with the request for parts to be supplied and required specifications to make it our own.

The inverter is supplied with two 120 volt outlets both of which have 20 Amp circuit breakers.
