DC Conductors
ABYC standards include minimum DC conductor size ratings for how much amperage each size wire
can carry. The maximum allowable current-carrying ability of each size conductor is listed in the
following table.

DC Cabling Connections
Color-code your battery cables with colored tape or heat shrink tubing. The standard is red for
positive (+) and black for negative (-).
Cables must have soldered and crimped, or crimped copper compression lugs unless aluminum
mechanical lugs are used. Soldered connections alone are not acceptable. We suggest using high
quality, UL-listed Trace Engineering battery cables. These cables are available in a specific
assortment of sizes from 1 ½ to 10 feet, and in 2/0 or 4/0 AWG. They are color-coded and have
pressure crimped, sealed ring terminals. Contact your Trace dealer to order.
Figure 7, Battery to Inverter Cable Connection illustrates proper connections for the Mariner
inverter/chargers. Points of caution are:
ä Do not connect the battery negative (-) cable to the vessel safety ground; connect it to the
battery negative terminal of the inverter.
ä Do not connect equipment DC negatives to the safety ground, connect only to the negative
bus of the DC load center.
