KINGS 3000w Inverter Installation & 300Ah Battery

Installing Kings 3000w inverter paired with 300Ah Kings battery Into my camper trailer.
I upgraded the Positive wires to 70mm2 and used the provided negative wire supplied with the inverter.
running a battery monitor and shunt off Ebay which I will add a link.

I'd recommend you replace the Kings supplied negative cable to the inverter with the same size as the others. For example Redarc specify 55mm2 (1/0 AWG) for combined length up to a metre and 120mm2 (4/0 AWG) for 1-2m. Victron Multiplus specifies two cables on each of the terminals (ie 2 x 50mm2, so 4 in total). The Kings and iTech for that matter are insufficient, possibly dangerous. Not an issue if you're just drawing low amps, but max it out with an induction or similar and see how hot the cables get. My install nearly caught fire before I upgraded the cable sizes.

Get rid of that thermal fuse in place of a mega fuse. That Ebay isolator is garbage too. Feel the heat being generated at all your lugs within these two parts, it's too hot. Throw them both, no need for the isolator, just a mega fuse. There will be zero heat this way

I have had 2 of these go bad in less than 4 months.first for no reason the red light comes on .the inverter didn't get hot neither was there lack of battery power because I have six 115 AGM king's batteries they have full charge for 12 hours during the day and only drop to %80 by 930 pm .in the morning they only drop to %70 .no more king's products for me .

Nice job 👍
Do you need the isolater, or would it be ok with just the resettable fuse

In regards to off grid systems in caravans/vehicles - seeming a live chassis from faulting appliance can kill you without a protective device, using a portable RCBO plugged into the 240v output will protect, but because there's no earth to ground, YOU will be it. This should cause the RCBO to trigger but it could be too late.. If you installed an earth stake from inverter chasis it was have tripped without you in circuit. Just a friendly reminder to all that 240v is 240v, it's dangerous and without a protective device or ground you're dicing with death

Hi, nice video! How has the King 3000W inverter been working for you?

[dennisbaratta]

cable size is too small for 3000 watt inverter it needs to be 4/0 cables to be safe!

Nice video mate, the music is extremely annoying, though.
