The size fuse depends on the max load/Charge the system will draw from/to the battery.Just bought 6 Ruixu (48v) batteries in their cart.
What class T fuse should I get for that system?
The size fuse depends on the max load/Charge the system will draw from/to the battery.
Inverter rating in watts divided by 45v gives you amps drawn from the battery when the battery is at low charge.Forgive my ignorance, but how do I figure that out?
I am adding the same Riuxu batteries with cart and am shopping for 15ft. of wire to connect to a 600 amp busbar that feeds two EG4 3k watt inverters. Windy Nation has a chart that says their 4guage wire will handle up to 160 amps. Would it then be to code? And secondly, I currently have four EG4100AH batteries hooked to the busbar and that same 4guage wire to the inverters. Will I need to upgrade that wire?We can see from the chart that it would be a 2/0 wire.
Had those as well. They might be perfectly fine. However after comparing these fuses with other class-t fuses, I replaced them.I found this fuse-block/fuse at Amazon.
Would it be ok with a single run of 4/0?

The fuse block and the fuses themselves are just a world of difference compared to other class-t fuses and blocks.
These ones are small and flimsy.

I decided to go with Windy Nation. They sell the cable in 3' increments if you get the ends installed, which since I don't own a tool for that, seems the prudent approach. Also no shipping cost. They also sell a ANL 200 AMP Fuse, which is better than the Chinese ones on amazon. Their cable is flexible, and the specs are to high standards, with competitive pricing.Take a look at these guys....
Wire and Cable Your Way
I will assume you are in the US and need to comply with the NEC code.Windy Nation has a chart that says their 4guage wire will handle up to 160 amps. Would it then be to code?
I purchased the Blue Sea fuse block with matching fuses.
For your reference I added a couple of pictures that show the differences between the two kinds.

Indeed getting matching fuses is important. I found out the hard wayYes I second the Blue Seas T-Fuse Block and Fuses are very good quality. Make sure to get the correct matching fuse block for the fuse.
