I want to install a Phoenix 12/3000 inverter, which is 50 cm apart from my batteries (2x200 Ah). In the manual 2 x 95 mm² cables are recommended (for a length up to 5 meters). On the other hand the manual of the MultiPlus 12/3000 recommends 2x50 mm² cables. What section is correct?
I guess, with only 50 cm length 2 x 50 mm² cables will do. Is that correct?
Thanks a lot for your recommendation.

You will be well over 200A at full power. If you're going to follow the specification for a different product, be sure you understand the risks.
I'm not able to check right now, but does the MultiPlus 12/3000 manual state two pairs of 50mm2 cables?(four in total). That is much the same area as 2x95mm2.
Thank you for your answer but I'm not shure whether I get you right. If the manual says (50 mm² as in the case of the 24 V model of MultiPlus 3000) than it of course means one positive and one negative cable. In case of the Multiplus 12/3000 the manual states (2x50 mm²) which of course means two positive and two negative cables. In fact the Phoenix 12/3000 requires "2x95 mm²" according to the manual. There must be an mistake, because the systems are quite the same. Or where is the differnce that I didn't understand? Thank you.
