I'm not will - but he's here often.
Usually the T-Class fuse is connected to your battery between the positive battery cable and the positive bus bar if you have one or directly to your inverter if it doesn't have one inside already.
Battery Positive --> red cable --> T-Class Fuse Holder w/ fuse --> red cable --> Bus bar or lynx distributor or In or whatever you decide after the t-class fuse.

You're referring to the Lynx Class-T Power In? https://www.victronenergy.com/dc-distribution-systems/lynx-class-t-power-in
AFAIK Victron doesn't sell a single Class-T fuse holder. If that's what you're looking for, I'd recommend BlueSea https://www.bluesea.com/products/category/16/73/Fuse_Blocks/Class_T_Fuse_Blocks Just make sure to check the size of fuse you need, because Class-T fuses have different physical sizes based on their fusing capacity, so a 100A fuse won't fit in one that can fit a 150A fuse, and vice-versa.

I have blue sea FYI, and I bought the wrong sizes. Twice. Learn from what has been said above.
The T-Class T Power In would be a good solution if you had 2 large batteries and wanted to save some space, but as you only need 1 t-class fuse, not sure I'd go that high end. I love my victron stuff, though.

But we highly support you using a Class-T fuse (on the positive pole, as close to the battery as you can), because it's the best fuse for small to moderate sized battery systems that most of us are using. Most especially lithium battery packs.

Hello thank's to everyone that repled my battery bank is 92.16 kwh it consists of three server racks of 30.72 kwh each for a total of 18 EG4 lifepower 4 V2 batteries so i need 3 class T fuses one on each server rack that's why i purchased 2 Victron class T fuse holders that will hold 4 class T fuses 2 in each module and 2 Victron power-in modules. I also have 2 EG4 12000xp inverters well that's the run down of my small solar power system.

casually throws that out as I look at my 200Ah 12V system :-(
Wait, 18 of those server rack packs? Really? That's enormous. So you're going to be doing 18 in parallel? Um. I think the general recommendation is each pack in parallel should have it's own Class-T fuse, so that if one pack/cell goes bad with a dead short, it will blow it's fuse and take itself out of the system, and the rest of the packs will be OK.
So that'd be 18 Class-T fuses for all of that. Preferably mounted fairly close to the battery itself.
Maybe there's different advice for those server rack batteries since they have an integrated breaker, I'm happy to be corrected on that.
