Yeah DIN breakers for those big ones. Or breakers that snap into the rectifier chassis.
By the way, I thought the overcurrent device should be sized based on the amp capacity of the wire. I sometimes see people saying things like “I have an X watt device, so I need a Y watt fuse”. What’s the purpose to downsizing the fuse to match the device?

If staying at 24V I'd recommend a 80-100A fuse in each series of batteries and maybe a 50A or in some cases lower fuse for the site.

Where all is fusing recomended and of what type and size? These will be attached to 750w 1000w or 1500w ups depending on the site. Most sites pull between 450 and 750 watts right now off the current batteries -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
