Replacing the Fuse

WARNING: Correct Fuse Type

To reduce the risk of fire and electrical hazards, replace the fuse only with a fuse of the same type and rating.

Using the wrong fuse type can damage the unit and void your warranty.

The inverter/charger external DC fuse, shown in Figure 1-1, protects the unit from causing wiring and battery damage due to over-current and from reverse polarity when connecting the unit to the battery. If the fuse blows for any reason, replace it with only the fuse types listed below.

•Littelfuse Mega® Fast Blow, 250 A, 32 V; part number 298250

•Bussmann® 250 A 48 V; part number AMG-250

Note: Additional fusing may be required seven (7) inches from the battery post, if the inverter is located away from the batteries with long cable runs.
