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?

I use circuit breakers.

How is everyone fusing your high current dc stuff? we use blade fuses and gmt 
fuses up to 15a, with inverters directly to the battery strings, granted they 
have internal breakers I really want to fuse them if that's a good idea but 
finding 100a fuses with a din rail etc is hard

Sorry, 50A being the circuit breaker.

750 /24 = 31 amps. Sounds like it may be better to standardize on 48V. 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.

So we have some 12v 190 ah batteries and are going to be running them in series 
for 24 v and pairs in parralell if we need more capacity.

 

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
