I see T-fuses being mentioned in other threads and even in my own listed below.
I understand a T-fuse is a quick acting fuse inside a sand filled cartridge and that it prevents arcing after being blown. I don't understand why I would need a T-fuse for a 12V DC system with 100A output LFP batteries. I didn't think 12V was enough to create a sustained arc through a typical blown fuse.
I see DIY advocates saying "fuse to protect the wires" and the equipment will look after itself. So why T-fuses?

4 x 100Ah Parallel Battery Bank layout and fusing. Comments please.
My diagram and plans for creating a LiFePo4 12V 4 x 100Ah battery bank. I am choosing a flexible buss bar setup. I thought about a solid copper buss bar but I am concerned about all the terminal connections not being perfectly level and thus creating poor/stressed contacts. This battery bank...
