Trace Charge Controller Ratings [RE-wrenches]

Eric,

Almost all fuses and circuit breakers are rated to continuously handle 80%
of their full rating. 100% rated fuses and circuit breakers are rare. I'm
99.9% sure that the 175/250 is no different. It will usually specify quite
clearly if it is.

Bill.

Thanks for forwarding John Wiles' feedback. A practical and reasonable
interpretation.
Is the DC 175/DC 250 Disconnect from Xantrex rated 100%? There is no
indication on the enclosure (or in the instructions)  that it is rated
100% and that is what the inspector wants to see.
