Running a 12/24V system? I'm having trouble finding smaller 58V mega fuses (60A etc).

Might have to make that my signature. Profound words as usual sirYellow and Blue take your $GREEN$
It's science.
My understanding is that the more you spend the higher up in elevation you get. Like Scientology.Oh frakk I've joined the blue and yellow club...
Do we get a membership card?![]()
OMG, I can't possibly unsee that.@AstroBob i hope I don’t cause you to have an aneurysm
But just to demonstrate, I snapped this pic a few min ago…Most everyone in here is not a blind fan boy. We all must evaluate pros/cons as well as cost analysis.
Some products are just a no brainer to run blue. Some products are only available in yellow. Other products still fit the bill perfectly fine.
And yes, this is how new solar products are conceived

I would think those victronRewards already existed , judging by the level of fan boyzs around here. My victron products are good, but they don't send a thrill up my leg or anything.My understanding is that the more you spend the higher up in elevation you get. Like Scientology.
VictronRewards. Just a matter of time.
They’re European, so they tolerate a bit more direct language. Not sure how you choose to communicate with your electronics, but I’ve always gotten that tingly feeling with very direct (ie fork into outlet) communicationMy victron products are good, but they don't send a thrill up my leg or anything.![]()

This constant and over-the-top schilling for a single company's overpriced products has become both annoying and even disturbing. Why would anyone trust advice from any source that only recommends products from a single company?. It makes one appear to be a dishonest crook. However good the quality may be of Victron products, I will now go out of my way to avoid victron products.

I prefer good whisky, but that's just me...We also drink too much colloidal silver...
I don’t have any other Victron stuff but I do love the Lynx Power In - great compact set of well protected bus bars
Thanks those were the 32V units for 12/24 but there was a related link to the 70V versions yippee.![]()

Ensure uninterrupted performance with the Victron MEGA Fuse. Safeguard your 12/24V systems from surges and enjoy peace of mind!www.currentconnected.com
Oh my thought was a class t fuse between battery and the power in end positive terminal, with mega fuses in the power in for SCCs and loads. And then smart shunt between battery negative and power in end negative terminal. Like this as an example, but I'll have the class t by the battery terminals versus right at the power in. Now the problem is my cutoff switch is only rated for 48V max (blue seas 6006)Are mega fuses “fast” enough for a DC bank?
ha ha ha... look at the shit I start on forums! even Eggo is admitting to being a smurf!Fixed
ouch. I so wish the 6000XP would have been out when you built your system. Have folks heard if 6000XP 120/240 split phase has sync'ing issues?I sold my jeep (cost me about $600/mo in just gas) and bought a tesla. I then bought 30kwh of eg4ll batteries, 2 eg4 6500ex inverters and 12x450 watt solar panels with the intention of using the money I saved on gas to pay for the system. Shortly after powering up the eg4 6500ex, I immediately hated everything about them; loud, runs REALLY hot, inefficient, 120/240v split phase kept losing sync with each other, and the software/solar assistant was just trash imo compared to VRM. I got rid of the 6500 ex and replaced them with 2x 5000va multi plus II and 1x smart solar 250/100. It cost me a little less than 2x as much as the 2 eg4ll. In total i spent about $11k for the initial set up but ended up at about $14k after the swap. (I have victron energy systems on my rv and loved the). The full system has been up for about 3 months now and I have been having to work on weekend, meaning driving more. I have saved around $2500 in gas so far by solar charging my car instead of gas for my jeep. So since my victron system was built to replace gas, and not the grid, the system will effectively be paid off by next year and every mile I drive after that will be "free." Sure, I could have charged from the grid and still saved a good majority of that, but then I wouldn't have my hobby/back up power when I lose power.
I think he's the Captain of the ship.ha ha ha... look at the shit I start on forums! even Eggo is admitting to being a smurf!
The Morningstar puresine inverters are very appealing to me as they are totally passive with no fan noise.I use primarily magnum and Morningstar, but quality is quality and Victron is tier one. i would not be afraid to run any of their gear... other than the price... but then i do run Morningstar controllers so its not that bad.
