We've used the inline glass fuses for metering and battery fan applications for 20 years without trouble. I certainly wouldn't use them over 5 amps though. I actually tested these inline fuses on a 144 vdc vehicle battery bank once, and they blew without arcing or burning. Of Course my name

Is anyone out there familiar enough with CEC 2015 to answer a question for me about load side taps in a generator transfer switch? To the best of your knowledge, is using load side taps allowed when connecting PV to the utility side of an ATS? Thanks, Daryl DeJoy NABCEP Certified PV Penobscot Sola

I think my "wattsuns" look fine with just wire ties and not really any special effort. It does sound nice to go in the rail. I can put a pix in here later when I get home if you ask? Not worried about squirrels here but I would like to get some of the metal bird protector (often seen at airports)

With Solarworld/SnapNRack we run wires in the rail and use clips on the long edge of the frame when needed. SnapNRack has a clip that fits in the upper rail groove to hold wires down into it. The snap n rack part you are referencing (I think they call it 'box frame adapter') is good if you want to
