Characteristics of the Cable Provided with the Kits
We have provided the highest quality, industrial / welding grade, flexible cable with
the Kits. These cables are designed for use as motor and power leads where flexibility
and portability are required. The inherent nature of the design makes the cables
suitable for battery cables for automotive and renewable energy applications.
Key features of the cables provided with the Kits are as follows:
• 600V rating
• Very wide operating temperature of -50oC to 105oC
• High strand count, annealed, copper conductors for high flexibility.
• Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) jacket provides the high 600V insulation and
resistance to abrasion, oils, acids and heat.
Characteristics of Fuses and Fuse Holders Provided with the Kits
DC-1000-KIT, DC-2000-KIT and DC-2500-KIT are provided with 100A, 200A and 300A
fuses respectively (Fig. 3.3). These fuses are Marine Rated Battery Fuses (MRBF-XXX
Series) made by Cooper Bussmann.
The MRBF Fuse provides easy, practical weatherproof and economical circuit
protection in tight space constraints. The fuse is installed between the Positive Battery
Terminal Stud and the Positive Battery Cable with the help of a special Clamping
Fixture. The Clamping Fixture consists of the following:
• Clamping Fixture Bar (CFBAR), Fig. 3.4. Has a base plate for connecting to the
battery stud (with a hole to accommodate battery stud of up to stud size 3/8" /
M10) and a stud (size M-8) for connecting the MRBF fuse and the battery cable.
• Stainless Steel nut (thread size M8, will require ½" or 13 mm wrench for
tightening), Flat Washer and Spring Washer, Fig. 3.5.
• An Insulating Cap, Fig. 3.6. It slides over the base plate of CFBAR and is used to
insulate the exposed stud and the nut of the CFBAR.

Tools Required

• Wire Cutting Tool and Wire Stripper (for DC-3500-KIT)
• ½" Wrench and 5/16" Allen Key (for Samlex DC-3500-KIT)
• Appropriate screw driver or wrench depending on the DC input terminal
of your inverter.
• Crimping tool and heat shrink tubing (if ring terminal for the inverter end is
