[RE-wrenches] Current limiting fuse at battery bank

[Tom Ruscitti]

Thanks, everyone. I see I'm not the only one juggling competing concerns 
on the battery fuse issue. For the service call that motivated my query 
I think we'll leave it as is - the installation has short battery cables 
in conduit into an Outback system, and no easy way to mount a fuse 
external to the battery box. On new installations with an external fuse 
made up in a PVC box and a CB on the inverter end, it's hard to see an 
actual safety reason to provide an isolating disconnect on the battery 
side as well. That NEC requirement makes good sense for 600V but...

Thanks,

- Tom
