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 am very big on safety
BUT .. sometimes comments are overboard
if you want to run the whole house full time from the inverter from batteries and solar off grid with a huge battery bank meaning MW while running the A/C and the Dw's hair dryer
then yeah use 4/0
a couple of minutes of MW while making coffee, does not need that
it does not hurt to go big
but it is not the necessity some people seem to think
not when the loads are not high enough and consistent enough to make that needed
most of the users on here buying 3kw inverter will never need/use 3kw of power
