Hi all,do i connect my inverter to the starter battery or the leasure batteries? also what size fuse and cable size do i need for a 1500 pure sinewave.

Very good advice from Eddie, often forgottenAnd don't forget the RCD on the 22o VAC output.
1500 is more than enough to kill you

Good point thank youAnd don't forget the RCD on the 22o VAC output.

Thanks for that, the rcd looks ideal.If the basic inverter is 1500 watts it probably has the capacity to cope with a higher wattage at start up. My 1500 watt can take up to 3000 watts which of course raises the requirements. I have a 250 amp meg fuse and 70mm2 cabling joining the batteries together and feeding the inverter. I have just spent a happy couple of hours wiring up 2 inline RCD units as off the shelf plug in ones would not fit the design of the inverter.
