Fuse size pre-inverter
I've looked around and I've deduced that a slower-blow fuse, a Type T, is recommended between the battery bank and the inverter. I have two, group 27 batteries and I'm aimin' to install a 1000 watt in...

... What does your manual say?
Thanks. Good idea.
From the on-line manual:
"Fuse or Circuit Breaker:
DC-rated fuse or DC-rated circuit breaker connected along the DC positive line is required.
For MW 1210, SW 1210, select a fuse or circuit breaker with a [COLOR=]minimum of 150 Adc.
Based on the size of the battery bank...determine the
overall short circuit current rating of the battery bank from the battery manufacturer. The fuse or circuit breaker chosen has to be able to withstand the short circuit current that may be
generated by the battery bank."
I have no idea about "short circuit current". I see some set-ups with 150 amp fuses and some with 200. I guess the 150 would error on the side of caution.
Would a faster-trip ANL fuse be better?
