[VAC] Re: Electrical System...

Chris,
 Good luck in hooking everything up and making it work! <<grin>> 

An inverter draws approximately 10 times the DC current as it puts out
on the AC side. Your 1750 watt inverter can draw as much as 145 amps
from the batteries, requiring 2-0 (two-ought) welding cable, and a short
run at that. That same 1750 watts is less than 15 amps at 120 VAC.

Why do you say you won't use the pump switch? You do need a method of
turning off the pump at times.

                                                 <<Jim>>
