<br>
Good point. This is something I always take into consideration. I<br>
have used Class T Fuses in many situations with and without their fuse<br>
holders. In the case of the installation shown in my custom DC Bus<br>
System pictures the wire/cable type and wire management avoid putting<br>
too much physical stress on the Class T Fuses. The #4 AWG conductors<br>
are supported from above and apply very little stress on the fuses<br>
they connect to. The 4/0 AWG cabling is Cobra X-Flex (fine stand,<br>
very flexible) and each of these conductors is secured a few inches<br>
from where they connect to their fuses. Care was taken in making up<br>
these connection and they were all carefully adjusted and inspected to<br>
ensure they would not stress the fuses. I feel really good about how<br>
it all came together. The same care and attention will be needed<br>
whenever these connections are serviced and the fasteners are<br>
torqued/tightened. When well planned and carefully assembled I do not<br>
have concern there will be any issues related to not using the fuse<br>
holder. I also think about this another way as well... Using the<br>
Class T Fuse Holder adds another 2 connections to the circuit. I try<br>
to remind myself that more connections can equal more chance of<br>
issues... Although, if a manufacturer of a Class T Fuse states the<br>
fuse holder must be used with their fuse there could be an NEC<br>
violation by not using it.<br>
<br>
One thing to note about the use of these fuses in this installation is<br>
that they are supplemental over current protection (OCP). Each<br>
positive (ungrounded) conductor connecting to this DC Bus System has a<br>
means of primary over current protection and disconnect on its<br>
opposite end. The battery systems, the charge controllers, and the<br>
inverter/chargers all have circuit breaker disconnects on their<br>
respective positive circuit conductors connecting to this DC Bus<br>
System. I have seen other folks build without having the needed<br>
appropriate means of disconnect and OCP; although most folk are<br>
probably more likely to include the primary OCP, but not consider the<br>
