Inverter Cables and Disconnects
Inverter Cables
    These inverter cables are made from high quality battery cable and are sold in pairs. Ring terminals with 5/16" diameter holes are crimped on each end using a professional crimping tool which results in a gas-tight connection. The crimps are covered with glue-sealing heat shrink tubing ­ Red for the Positive cable and Black for the Negative cable. Consult the chart below for the correct gage cable according to inverter size and length of cable needed.

INVERTER CABLE NOTES
Your inverter cables should be sized long enough to "cross-corner" wire to your battery bank. This means the positive and negative inverter leads should be attached to the bank at opposite ends or corners not at the same end. The inverter cables should also be of equal length even though its seems that cross corner wiring would force one cable to be much longer than the other. The cables should be taped together in a parallel fashion as far as possible before breaking towards their respective corners.

Class T Fuse & Fuse Block

355-001 110 Amp Class T Fuse Block $59
355-002 200 Amp Class T Fuse Block $69
355-003 400 Amp Class T Fuse Block $83

 The Class T Fuse Block reliably protects high amperage components from overloads and short circuit damage. It utilizes a Class T fuse which provides the highest amps of interrupting capacity (AIC) of any comparable fuse or breaker. The Class T-Fues Block is designed with protective cover and base to meet the installation requirements of the National Electrical Code.

MidNite Solar has come out with a full line AC/DC disconnects for all brands of inverters and charge controllers. We now feature these disconnects in many of our kits.

The E-Panels include AC bypass and AC input disconnect breakers pre-wired to terminals strips for easy AC wiring installation. There is room for 6 additional AC or DC din rail mounted breakers. The main battery breaker is installed with positive and negative inverter cables from the disconnect to the inverter. (Cables to the battery bank are extra.) Also included is a 500amp/50mv shunt with negative busbar attached, a battery plus busbar, AC busbars (mentioned above), a ground busbar, and lots of hardware for mounting and wiring charge controllers to the disconnect. Wall mounting brackets and complete illustrated instructions complete the package.

The boxes are made of powder coated steel or in some cases, powder coated aluminum. The Mini Disconnect can be used for a charge controller or a simple inverter installation.

E-Panels are by far the nicest, easiest-to-use disconnects in the business.
