What size resistor for inverter fire-up?
See the following document. It shows resistor sizes for a given voltage. The wattage of the inverter is irrelevant for choosing the resistor.

This 50W 7 Ohm resistor is suitable for pre-charging large inverters in 12V systems. Pre-charging is an important safety process when using
I''m using a 1200W pure sine wave inverter and a series of extension cords to power devices in a mobile home. When charging my laptop, I noticed it was charging slowly.
We have compiled a list of five important things you need to know about 12v inverters to make an informed decision. We''ll cover the types and safety tips of the products
To determine the appropriate wire size for a 2000-watt inverter, you first need to calculate the current draw and consider the cable length. Selecting the correct gauge prevents
Technically, inverters use high-frequency switching (15–50kHz) to chop DC into AC. For example, a 12V 1000W inverter draws ~83A (1000W ÷ 12V) at full load—undersized wiring here causes
Inverters can be classed according to their power output. The following information is not set in stone, but it gives you an idea of the classifications and general power ranges associated with
This calculator is a valuable tool for anyone involved in designing or maintaining electrical systems that include inverters. It simplifies the process of selecting the right cable
I assume you have a 48v inverter. I like to keep the precharge current down to a couple amps so if we assume the max battery voltage is 60v, a 30 ohm resistor is about right.
Use this table to decide what size and to use with your inverter. Remember the fuse and breaker are there to protect your cabling from overheating (and potentially catching fire).
