I've been looking at the Midnite solar wiring diagrams, such as this one:
The confusing thing is that they don't seem to include the equivalent of a Class T fuse on the battery positive. I see that in almost every other wiring diagram (e.g. explorist.life or Victron, which tend to show an ANL fuse for the batteries). Midnite show the battery positive coming to a stud on their big inverter breaker (which have high AIC ratings), so I thought that was being used as the equivalent, but the positive bus bar is wired directly off the the same stud, so the busbar is not "downstream" of the inverter breaker, in essence the busbar is wired directly to the batteries.
I think I'm missing something here? Is the assumption that the batteries are fused at the battery (or inside a Midnite battery combiner boxes), but they just don't show this in the diagrams? Is the difference something about fixed installations compared with mobile installations (but Will's fixed videos always show a Class T or equivalent, other than the new single server rack batteries where there is a circuit breaker built into the battery)
Thanks,
James
