Sam, for a 3,000W inverter like # GP44XR or # GP85QR, you’ll want 2/0 or 4/0 AWG depending on the length of the run. Keep it under 10 feet if you can, since voltage is your enemy here. Go Power sells install kits that include the right fuse and cabling # 342GPDCKIT5.

How far is your battery bank from where you plan to mount the inverter?

Sherry, you’re right they both deliver 3,000 watts pure sine, but they’re meant for different rigs. The #GP44XR is a straight inverter - DC in, AC out - on one 30A leg, perfect for travel trailers or smaller Class Cs. The #GP85QR is an…

Great question, Drew. The #GP85QR does have a built-in transfer switch and charger, but it’s not a hybrid inverter/charger that can blend shore power with battery power at the same time. What it does is automatically switch between shore (or…
