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?

AC continuous duty would be 150amps
but this is long wire runs, possibly in metal conduit
for short inverter runs i think it should be OK
i have 2ft runs of #2 fused with a 200amp breaker, but load seldom exceeds 90amps
this is on a 2KW continuous 3KW surge inverter
i've got some bigger wire someplace to replace it, but i sized it to the expected load, not max capability, it can run the coffee maker or MW without overheating the wire
