Inline 80A fuse on 2AWG wire?

porch13 · February 2013

I just purchased a Xantrex Prowatt 600w inverter for my little place in the woods. My cables from the batteries are 2AWG. I need to add an 80 amp fuse, per the manufacturer, but I'm not sure what type will fit on 2 gauge wire. Can anyone point me at one that will work at a reasonable price?

Thank you!

Can you define "reasonable price"?

Were it me, I'd use one of these: http://www.solar-electric.com/mr60ampdccib.html
Circuit protection and disconnect in one.

Or you could put a Blue Sea battery post fuse in:
