Short wires and will never use full amount 600 watts for our needs. Proper fuse for the wire. 6 awg wire is rated for 55 amps current. I can install a larger fuse if needed. No problem.
There's another problem with using too small of fuse - one that I learned the hard way in radio. An undersized fuse can catually act as a current limiting resisitor, especially at or near it's max rating.
So you could end up with premature shutdown because the inverter thinks the voltage is lower than it really is.
Just my experience,
Good luck.
That is true. If there is a problem, a 50 amp fuse goes right in. I might use 200 watts.
