Hey All,
I received my ANL fuses and connectors today and I'm ready to start laying out the components on a control board. I only have a charge controller right now and I'm shopping for an inverter. My charge controller is a SolarEpic Tracer 4215BN
Based on my research so far I should have at least three fuses/breakers.
Fuse #1 between the array and charge controller. Maybe its better to set this up as a breaker/disconnect instead of a fuse?
Fuse #2 between charge controller and inverter
Fuse #3 between battery bank and charge controller.
My gut tells me to put the fuses and breakers as close the energy source as possible. Meaning I'd put a fuse at the battery box instead of the "control board". If so should I put the fuse before or after the battery bank disconnect switch?
If you have a pic of your control board(s) I'd love to check them out.
Any and all advice is appreciated
Thanks!
Rich
