The AIMS Power 1/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set Gives You a Red and Black Pair Rated for 284 Amps With Lugs Already Crimped on Both Ends
The AIMS Power 1/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set is a pair of heavy duty 1/0 AWG cables, one red and one black, with high quality zinc plated copper lugs on both ends. AIMS rates the cable at 600V and up to 284 amps, with a 105°C temperature rating and an extra flexible RT4 rated build.
It's made for connecting a battery bank to an inverter, and AIMS also lists it for charge controller and battery connections. AIMS matches it to inverters up to 3000W at 12 VDC and to 5000 watt 24V models. You can choose from 21 lengths, from 1 foot to 100 feet.
AIMS Power 1/0 AWG Inverter Cable Set Features
284 Amp Rating for High Current DC Runs
AIMS lists a maximum current of 284 A, a 600V rating and a 105°C temperature rating for this cable. That gives you a clear rating to check against your inverter's needs before you install.
Lugs Crimped on Both Ends Save Install Time
Each cable is precision cut and professionally crimped, with 7/16 inch zinc plated copper lugs on both ends. Cross linked polyolefin heat shrink covers each crimp. There's no cutting, stripping or crimping to do on site.
A Jacket Made for Harsh Spots
The flame retardant polyvinyl chloride jacket resists moisture, abrasion, acid, diesel fuel and oil. That helps the cable hold up in battery compartments and other demanding installs.
Extra Flexible for Tight Routing
The extra flexible RT4 rated construction makes the cable easier to handle and route through tight or complex spaces. The outer diameter is 0.61 inches.
Red and Black for Clear Polarity
Each set includes one red cable and one black cable, so positive and negative runs are easy to tell apart during the install and later service.
Real-World Applications
Battery to inverter. Connect a 12V battery bank to an inverter up to 3000W, or a 24V bank to a 5000 watt 24V inverter, with a matched red and black pair.
Charge controller and battery connections. AIMS lists the cable as suitable for charge controller and battery connections as well as inverters.
Power distribution. Use it for high current battery and power distribution runs where you want a lugged connection at each end.
Practical Comparison
Pre-Lugged Set Versus Building Your Own Cables
Building your own cables means buying bulk cable, lugs and heat shrink and using a heavy crimping tool. This set arrives cut to length with the lugs crimped and covered, so you can go straight to the install.
1/0 AWG Versus a Heavier Gauge Cable
A heavier gauge cable carries more current, but it's thicker, heavier and harder to bend. The 1/0 AWG set fits the inverter sizes AIMS lists for it without the extra bulk.
Buyer Guidance
Match the Cable to Your Inverter
AIMS matches this set to inverters up to 3000W at 12 VDC and to 5000 watt 24V models. For a larger 12V inverter, check your inverter's manual for the cable gauge and fuse size it calls for.
Pick Your Length
Measure the route between the battery terminals and the inverter's DC terminals before you order, and allow for bends. Each set has one red and one black cable in the length you choose.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You're wiring a battery bank to an inverter
- Your inverter is up to 3000W at 12 VDC
- You want lugs already crimped on both ends
- You need a matched red and black pair
