Time for Lithium House

I had issues with the Orion today. At some point, I blew the 60a MRBF on the output side. The Orion worked great before, but not at all today so the fuse was blown before I started. Idiot that I am, I don’t have a spare, and since I don’t know why or when it blew I’m not going to put a 300a fuse that I have on it. So that is still something to work out.

just checked the manual..says 60-70. I guess 70 it is.

None of us, including yours truly, are immune from being cheap when the downside is known, mitigated, and limited.

I would have likely done the same thing and made sure that the terminal squeeze was done right. Nothing wrong with 95mm2 conductors, just unusual, that is why I asked.

Take the $200 that was saved and enjoy a fine dinner with those that you love. Great job!

WRT the blown 60 Amp fuse, at this level of current I seldom use a fuse. You can get a Blue Seas 187 series (Edit) 70 A CB on Amazon for about $80. Or about a third of that price for a knock off, which I have never used.
Provided it is downstream from a class T fuse you are fine with the Blue Seas (really a Bussmann) product.

Yeah, I will replace with a 70a if I can.

I would use a CB other than space is really at a premium. The MRBF is convenient. Except of course when it blows. Lol
