Not quite 100A but close enough from the NHW11:
50A @13.83V ~= 690W
75A @13.75V ~=1,030W
90A @11.48V ~=1,033W
The ZVW30 has a similar voltage roll-off at a slightly higher current. Once I remove the Anderson connectors and 120A @12V circuit breaker, I'm expecting to see our 2010 Prius provide a full kilowatt of sine-wave, 110VAC house power with the aux battery providing 10s of seconds of surge energy.
I've already put a 1.2kW, resistive load on the 2010 inverter and watched as the battery provided the 'make-up' energy. When the current reached ~120A, the circuit breaker tripped around 12.4V. But subsequent tests at 930W, revealed the Anderson connector and 120A @12V circuit breaker were drawing about 100W and getting toasty warm. That is why the next version will use bolted-on, 4 gauge, cables.
