300A Breaker availability?

[Sutliff]

Not sure what is so hard about taking out fuses.

I can have my rear fuses all out in less than two minutes if needed. (3 of them)

I will not argue fuse vs. breakers, ... I just have my opinion(s), ... My question, & it appeared to be that of the OP - what is the reason for such large protection between BATTs.

I can push a button on my circuit breakers in 1 second.

Been running breakers for 5 years now.

Let me tell you, I agree that you should use fuses as breakers can stick and also wear out over time and keep tripping.

ALSO, I hate when people say "just pop in or pop out the fuses" that shit ain't always easy. Especially with those typical round screw type holders.

Next time I get holders, they will be the square removable top ones.

THANK YOU!

My old fuses were held in by 2 screws under glass. It was a bitch.

I don't want to start a debate either, I was just curious if someone made a 300A fuse. I believe 200A will be a tad to small. Aren't you supposed to to use 300A for 1/0 wire anyhow? To protect the wire from burning up under a surge?

Yeah I never cared for the "pill" shaped holder.

Lift up beauty panel, pop the cover on the fuse holder, undo the nuts. Boom out. <2 minutes.

[Sutliff]

Yeah, you can "fuse for the wire/cable", but it does matter what amperage you are pushing through the cable, too. Look up an "Ampacity" chart.

we trust breakers in our homes. What is the difference? Not arguing here, just a thought. I do see that a breaker could fail, but so can a condom and I don't see anybody abstaining because it's not 100%. Maybe that's an extreme example but hey.

Not decent quality at all ... But at 300A, it is at least an "option". I truly believe, until I am proved wrong, that the OP needs nothing more than a 150-200A.
