Class T fuses for inverters

2/0 is good at 330 amps by my chart. Your inverter is capable of pulling 200 maybe a little more. Max draw is probably the microwave at 140 to 170 amps.

I would go 200 max on a class T fuse. Working range is easy 125% to 150% of rating.

You are protecting the wire from a dead short. Not protecting the inverter. Plenty of room for surge performance.

I had to search for this info on Class T fuses and glad I found it. I'm getting this Samlex Evo inverter/charger, its a great price and a well respected company but want to know if I should go with a 300 or 350 Amp fuse. They did say the 300 would work too depending on cable/distance and my plan is about 4-6 feet and 2/0 cable. What say you? I think they might oversize a little to be sure.

Samlex EVO 2200

smkettner, brings up an excellent point. The performance/time rating of different classes of fuses.

I would go a little tight on a Class-T as they take a bit of time or huge overload to open.

Blue Sea has a graph if you need me to dig it up.

Would that fit on the trunk of the Bentley?

I was reading my Samlex inverter manual and found a requirement for a Class T fuse between it and the battery bank.

Or a hydraulic-magnetic circuit breaker.

My rig has two 300A class T fuses with one 2500w inverter.
