Hi All. I'm hoping to get a little advice on what types of fuses I can/should be using for my 12v system (Anl, mega, midi, maxi...)
I will need 5 or 6 of these between 100 and 200 amps for various places (battery to inverter, isolator to battery, battery to fuse block, etc.)
I understand that ANL is the best and it's a bad idea to go for a cheap brand, but $40 for a Blue Sea ANL fuse with holder is adding up quickly.
Is there any reason I shouldn't use other types, like MIDI or MEGA? Or another brand that is still quality but less expensive? Even the Blue Sea circuit breakers are less expensive than the ANL fuses including holders.
If not... is it okay to use the cheapo fuse holders with the Blue Sea ANL fuses?
Any suggestions for keeping this budget-friendly without sacrificing quality and safety are welcome. Thank you!
