Hi all,

I ran wire from my battery to my 400w inverter but my inverter is blowing it's fuse (literally) as soon as I plug it in (with no devices plugged into it). Is 10g adequate for this?

It worked fine when I tested it with the alligator clips that came with the inverter but the chord wasn't long enough and I did away with the clips and replaced them with mounts to the battery terminals.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Think I found the problem. I may have reversed polarity (forgot to mark the wires before I cut the clips off). The inverter has reverse polarity protection so that was popping the fuse.

Thanks to E-shen for the excellent pics of the alternate route around the firewall.
