I bought a Go Power fuse block (Go Power! FBL-200 Class T 200 Amp Fuse with Block ) from amazon, but received something like a Thor fuse block (4 screw holes and different clip type for cover).
The one I received has the terminal lugs flat against the base vs the elevated lugs seen in the pic. (This seems a bit more sturdy to me)
I am looking change my current fuse setup (I am already using a dual terminal MBRF for input from CC and out to Inverter) for my battery bank for 175A (2/0 Welding cable and 24v battery bank) and want to make sure I am using the correct fuse block as I may want too expand my battery bank and/or use a different size inverter (Smaller load / Smaller fuse).
Question: Will different AMP rated fuses fit this type of fuse block?
Note: I am not trying to over or under size the fuse - I just want to be in the "know" so that I am being safe and doing things right.
Why I ask what fuses fir this block:
The spec sheet says... "The class T fuses range from 110 to 400 amps. One block size fits all fuses and the wiring range is #6 to 4/0."
But....
I was under the impression from reading the Class T fuses had different mounting hole dimensions based on their AMP rating.
Looking at the spec sheet for the go power fuse block I ordered, the dimensions from Center hole to center hole of the JLLN series fuses are:
70A-100A - 39.7mm
110A-200A - 42.9mm
225A-400A - 46.8mm
Maybe there is enough wiggle room for fuses of different ratings to mount, but that seems dangerous to me, as you could potentially put a 300A fuse on a wire not rated for that much and cause little flamey things to occur?
