I am building a 48v 300Ah system, planning to get a 3000W or 3500W Inverter/charger, and have about max 70A of solar charging ability. Running an off-grid RV, including 1 inefficient AC, 1 desktop PC, and other basic RV things both 12v & 120V.
I am pretty sure I dont need a 1000A bus-bar, and would like to not pay for that if I dont need it. But I'm a bit confused on how to find an alternative. For what it is, the Lynx Power In or Distributor really arent that badly priced, but I'm curious if there's a better option for me.
So, by my calculations, I technically shouldn't really be hitting anything over 120A (inverter does about 5500W peak), so do I only need a 150A bus bar? Or do I need to consider more things? Possible different loads at the same time?
I've been looking for comparable bus bars and have found these so far, they have much lower load ratings than Victron's, but also cost less, but possibly not enough less?:
That's a lot of questions, thank you for reading.

EDIT: Does it matter if it's MEGA or other types of fuses? I will research this more tomorrow, but I need to sleep now.
