I ran the 2000w inverter on the edge of its ability and as much 12v stuff I could find, shunt was showing the system touching 2.2kw at...

Thank you, what would you improve?

Also upgraded to blue sea anl fuse and holder recently that another member suggested.

Lots of good info, thank you. Shelf is made of 1x12 pine that I stained. Cement board is not a bad idea, I will consider redesigning...

Code like that is way over my head, I’m very mechanically inclined and familiar with 12v stuff from the automotive world but expert...

I didn’t know about the 2 different types of fuses, should I be using the ann over an anl?

Ok. On desktop now. Definitely try to bypass the fuse. Can try to bolt that lower lug to the top one and see if any issue arise. As your...

Does that include lower amperage breakers?

Will definitely have to try that! What is the mrbf?

Best way to find out if it's the fuse is to remove it and run your test without a fuse in place (temporarily, of course) bolt right to...

That is something else I had thought about doing is ordering a name brand quality anl fuse but I didn’t think that would be the answer...

Not without spending $$$. Personally i like ANL fuses for high current low voltage stuff. Although id use Eaton / Bussman brand, hold...

I have gone over my connections many times, that was my first thought too. I was using a space heater and variable heat gun so I could...

2000 watts @ 12vdc gives you +-166 amps. I would recommend checking out all your connections. What did you have running when you got...

Yes, the breaker did get warm also. Is there a cooler safer way to have short circuit protection?

Honestly im more concerned about the 250 breaker than the ANL fuse. Those style breakers seem to have high failure rates. The fuse is...

This is the tool I’m using to crimp, running it down with an impact, not by hand. My inverter is 2000w. I am aware my one 250w panel...

Most 12 volt warm issues are caused by to small of wire size for the load or an improper/faulty conections. How did you crimp the...

I would say the most this system would ever see continuous would be around 200a, saw Will’s video that recommended fuse/breaker 1.5...

13.5 is a good charging voltage for 12v Look into your battery spec for low cutoff. I would imagine in the 10.5v range Fuses get warm...
