Hi,
I have 3x multiplus 5's connected to a 48V lead acid bank.
What is best option/ way to wire from battery bank to lynx distributor? Cable size req works out to 185mm for 600A surge power? Seems too big an hard to work with?
Any tips?
Cheers

You have a few batteries/strings in parallel?
Wire each one separately to the busbars. Make sure all positive wires are the same length. Also make sure that all negative wires are the same length.
Lead acid bank, not lithium and multiplus System is in 3 phase configuration, so individual units have 70mm protected by 200A c/b but trying to size the common cable from bank to distributor @ peak discharge.

That's what I am talking about. Depending on what that battery bank is made of, a "common cable" might not be required.

How do you calculate the 600A? The maximum charge current per MPII 48/5000 is 70A, per unit. 200A per unit is the recommended fuse size and 70mm² is the recommended cable diameter. Per unit.
