We used a big ol' fat square D HU361RB for the disco. Too bad Xantrex did not have the forethought to build a SMA type fused segmenting disco. I even thought about building one or buying the SMA type. So budget that extra expense. Unfortunately, Xantrex also reserved the bottom of the chassis for air intake.
