inverter fuse/breaker
I am purchasing a 3000 watt inverter and wondering should i use a ANL 300amp fuse or a 300amp breaker between batteries and inverter?

I would call 4/0 minimum, may need 250MCM if you expect full performance including the surge. Also may depend on length.
1/0 is more for 1500/1800 watt inverter.
Or is this one of those cheapos that really only produce 50% to 70% of rating?
Class T will pass 2x current for some time before it opens. A bit of a slow-blow fuse so I would keep it a bit tight.
Note 2x rating takes a full minute to open.
I would go 200 max class-T or 250 ANL on 1/0 wire.
