How did you decide to use a 250A main fuse (not sure the size here, but in your pervious build that's what you used)? What is your calculation there? Thanks.
In my previous build, with a 3000w inverter, a 300-350a fuse would probably have been a better fit, but I wasn't planning on pushing it to it's limits, it was designed to easily run tools in my garage and fridge/freezer.
I only use it for providing external power to DC applications like running my ham radios or anything else that is on the smaller side under 30 amps. Yet it also could be used to input 200+ watts of solar, because it does have fuses, but it would need to go through a solar charge controller first.
The push button switch (Both +/-) goes to the fuse panel and then the (+) to the battery. All the switches are in the same configuration (same order) as the fuses. When the gauge is turned off there is no memory. The gauge pulls very little and usually doesn't make much of a difference in accuracy. If I am actively using the power supply on a trip or to run items over a long period of time I will leave the gauge on.
@@jimmiescott8409 I understand how they work, we have had batteries . chargers and solar panels for over 3 decades now, however we never called them a generator until now, But its just a battery with a charger attached, Once flat the the solar panels wont give you enough charge to run anything of, unless your walking around with a 5kw of solar around with you. Its just a buzz word marketing companies used to bullshit people that don't know better. If you plug it into your car to charge, the car is generating the power, if you plug panels into it the panels are generating power with charger, nothing that you buy and walk out the shop with generates power, it only stores which is why for a centaury they were called batteries and not generators ...
