I'm trying to understand the specifications of my 18kPV inverter. It states that for both grid and load connections, I can use a maximum of 4 AWG wire. However, in bypass mode, it can supply a full 200A load, which seems off since 200A would typically require at least 2 AWG, not 4. Am I missing something here?

I think the confusion is with the wire gauge. The manual I checked mentions a range from 6 AWG to 4/0 AWG for connections, and yeah, 4/0 is way bigger than 4 AWG. It might be worth double-checking your manual or consulting someone more skilled in electrical setups to make sure you're not missing critical details!

Thanks for the clarification! I appreciate the advice.
