I have a new unopened 12000XP. Buying wire / cable. How many amps is the load breaker capable of / trip point in amps. if there is nomenclature near it indicating this, it is not visible on the datasheet, manual or website pics I've found. Would someone look at theirs & advise, please? THANKS!

Since the 12000XP has a feature published as '100 Amp Pass-Through', does that mean that all of the 100 amps grid can be passed through (out) the load breaker and this would require sizing the load cables accordingly for 100 amp continuous, same as the grid?

The 12000XP can output approximately 50 amps continuous and 75 amps peak.  I use an 80 amp breaker in my combiner box (for paralleling) but my shop is completely off-grid so there is no pass-through.  I have several video's wiring up a 12000xp including how to parallel them.  My Youtube is https://www.youtube.com/c/MikesGarageRoute66

The "Load" disconnect breaker on the 12000xp is 100 Amp. AWG of the wire connecting to that breaker must be capable of carrying 100 Amps.  I believe that is a "code" requirement.   If you are back-feeding a sub panel - the breaker on the sub-panel side could be a lower amp value.
