1000w 8mm cableHow many watt inverter what mm2 cable
Working on a total 6nm run you just scrape within 25 mm2,for the small additional cost and future proofing I would go 35mm21000w 8mm cableooks like you have 16 mm2 cable
What’s the printing on the cable says? AWG , or mm1000w 8mm cable
Good point I was thinking actual measured od 8 mmWhat’s the printing on the cable says? AWG , or mm

It will be approx 16 mm2 if its thin wall cable if standard cable may only be 10mm2.Good point I was thinking actual measured od 8 mm
What do you mean by "warmish"? If it just feels slightly warm to the touch after a running the load for a while I'm not sure that is anything worry about if the load is working. The cable will be carrying something like 80 amps or perhaps a little less so it will generate a bit of heat.Noticed inverter cable getting warmish.
Had a look and + lead is about 2 mtrs long and - lead about 1.5 mtrs
Is this too long ?
and these were dealer fitted

Glad I gave the exact same numbers !It will be approx 16 mm2 if its thin wall cable if standard cable may only be 10mm2.
You need a minium of 25 mm2 preferably 35 mm2.

Shortening the cables won't cut down the heat on that length of cable, but it will reduce the voltage drop and losses over the total length.The inverter is only about 2 feet or less from the batteries so would shortening the cables cut down on heat
