Peter-
We've done many such events over the years. I'd go with a 110 amp
class T fuse, available from most RE distributors. While it's larger
than you need, it will still protect against shorts. Proper wire
sizing will take care of over-current. Feel free to give me a call
with any specifics regarding the system. Best of luck.

We are designing a "Mobile Solar Power Center" to power Eco-Events
and the
like in Southern California. We will have 1,600 Wp of solar panels,
6 kWh of
24 V AGM battery backup and a 1kW / 120 VAC inverter. I am designing
the
system from scratch, and I wondered if anyone else out there has put
together a similar system and was inclined to share notes. When I'm
finished
I'd be glad to do the same.
One stumbling block I have right now, is to find a DC rated 70A in-
line
fuse, to put between the battery bank and the input to the inverter.
70A may
seem an odd value, but it is the best choice for the surge rating of
the
inverter I'll be using (Xantrex Prosine 1000). Does anyone have a
source for
DC-rated in-line fuses?
Thanks in advance, -Peter
