What size fuse
Going to add a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter. Want to install a ANL fuse between inverter and battery. What size fuse should I use? Will be nothing more than Cpap machine or tv.
Forum Discussion
- I would go with an 80 amp fuse.
- use the advanced search and search for cpap on the forum. Lots of information there. Might be something to help you.
- If you are connecting to 12V for the inverter, just go ahead and put in a 12V power point for the CPAP if yours will run on 12V. If it will, its a bit redundant to convert 12v up to 110, then turn around and convert it back to 12v for the CPAP. Wasting power each way. But having power for a TV is good, as 12v TVs are a bit harder to come by, and sometimes create other problems also.
- Op again. The unit ships with "2 feet 7 awg " (I know!) I plan on running about 6' #4.

Assuming #4 or #2 wire I would be about 125 to 150 amps.
If you are going smaller on the wire the fuse would need to be reduced.
Neither #4 (85A) or #2(115A) will safely carry 125 amps.
What does the mfg. recommend?- Assuming #4 or #2 wire I would be about 125 to 150 amps.
If you are going smaller on the wire the fuse would need to be reduced.
