Power Inverter has 3 30amp fuses...

The power inverter is 800watts, w/ a 1600 watt surge compacity.

what amp inline fuse do I use on the power cable (4 gauge incase you were wondering).


Thanks

Use a 100-150 amp fuse. The purpose of this fuse is to protect the wire not the inverter so as long as the fuse value is higher then the current draw of the inverter it is okay.

I went to advance auto parts today... a 100amp fuse at 32volts is something like 275amps at 12v, right?

If I found a 50-60amp fuse at 32 volts, could I use that without any problems?

anyone know where to get that strong a relay switch?
