Hi,
So I'm slowly getting closer to getting everything I need for the solar power system. I'm seriously considering getting the Midnite Solar MNDC 125 Mini 125 Amp DC disconnect enclosure as I think it'll make everything neater and easier for me. Since this uses breakers I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice on whether fuses are still needed with this circuit and if so where?
I had read the Terminal Fuse Blocks from Blue Sea Systems come recommended, but would a fuse at the battery terminal be recommended if I have the breaker? If that terminal fuse is needed then I'm probably going to need a work around as the battery hole is 5/16 (M8) and the hole at the end of the Blue Sea Terminal Fuse block is 3/8 (M10).
I've attached a picture of the circuit - the MNDC-GFP is not needed as I understand that my Midnite classic 200 has this protection built-in. I'm also unaware of what the Field Install - yes or no, is beside the charge controller. I've chosen 125A as the inverter has an inbuilt fuse rated at 150A - so I would rather the breaker went before that fuse ever blew.
Thanks
- Just for clarity, I have 24V 100Ah battery bank, Midnite classic 200, 1200 24V Phoenix Victron Inverter. PV array to be x3 330W.
