Replacing the Fuse
The inverter/charger external DC fuse, shown in Figure 1-1, protects the
unit from causing wiring and battery damage due to over-current and
from reverse polarity when connecting the unit to the battery. If the fuse
blows for any reason, replace it with only the fuse types listed below.
• Littelfuse Mega® Fast Blow, 250 A, 32 V; part number 298250
• Bussmann® 250 A 48 V; part number AMG-250
WARNING: Possible popping sound and sparks
Follow steps c) and d) in sequence. If you switch the steps, you may hear a
“popping” sound and see sparks when you make that connection to the negative
terminal. If flammable fumes are present, explosion or fire may result.
Note: If you have a DC Disconnect installed, you should close it
before proceeding to the next step.
WARNING: Correct Fuse Type
To reduce the risk of fire and electrical hazards, replace the fuse only
with a fuse of the same type and rating.
Using the wrong fuse type can damage the unit and void your
warranty.
Note: Additional fusing may be required seven (7) inches from
the battery post, if the inverter is located away from the batteries
with long cable runs.
