LOL it is a 120 volt panel... only 1 hot feed and one neutral/ground feed. It will only be a 120 volt panel with 1 hot bus bar. if you wanted 220 you would have to run a new feed and a new panel.

I updated the system to include a 750 amp supplemental battery at the inverter next to the 5Farard capacitor, I have no more issues with current draw at max peak. I did not update the wiring because the additional battery cell is less than 6" from the inverter. The capacitor helps with spike...

Update: replaced wiring with 2AWG an added a 750 amp supplemental battery at the inverter. I can achieve max draw on startup of 3800 watts and maintain 2k watt draw at 187 amps. Battery added: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089NRB70/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Thank you

It's beginning to sound like I just need to add a battery in the system next to the inverter and capicator.

It might at the battery because my monitor is near the unit, It is in the bed of my truck and I see no way to move it closer. It is mounted near the crew cab on the cab side of the bed. I have a multi fuel 5500watt generator but hate to use it to run a few items at a job site. Might have to...

compressor 1 1.5hp; compressor 2 2hp; saw 1 1.5hp saw; 2 2hp saw 3 2hp. running all at the same time pulls me to 50% power on the inverter pulling about 133 amps during compressor start up.

I run air compressors(2) and tools such as up to 15 amp saws daily without issue, the day in question i used it to also run work lights and a coffee pot lol. Might have just used to much...but at 4k i should be able to run those extra items without that much draw.

That is why the capacitor is in the loop next to the unit and is why my original question has me thinking i need to go to 2 awg.

I was only running at 182 amps when the fuse blew, i did not receive a low power warning from the unit and the capacitor is in place to help with current demand for compressor start ups. Max amps for the unit draw is up to 389amps at peak but only for a short period of less than 10 seconds, the...

I have a 12v 4k watt pure sine wave inverter in my truck running 12' 4awg with a 200a main line breaker, new deep cycle 1k amp 12 volt battery, 250a charging alternator with a 5f (5k watt 550a) capacitor next to the inverter (6 inches). I run it at 50% load without issue but the other day ran it...
