Don and all,
 
Are only problem with home brew is picking the right components and having fuse cover to be able to extract the fuse without exposure to live parts. A good UL-listed product would save time and be fully acceptable to all inspectors.
 
Bill.

HI Don,
 I've always assembled my own combiner box using all UL rated components.
 The fuse block I use is a LITTLEFUSE #356 , I use type ABC fuse's with
this.
 In addition I use the BUSS distribution block , a lightning arrestor, and
enclose it all it a steel w/p j-box.  Non of these have ever fried, burst
into flames or caused any smoke shows.

Hi Carl, I too have always done home brew with zero problems. By buying ready
made I was hoping to speed up the installation.

Don
