Does this inverter have a fuse that is easy to replace and get to? Thanks!

Large inverters, such as the APS2200, consist of many internal fuses while most small inverters have a few external fuses. Internal fuses are often not easy to replace.

You want to first consult your owners manual for the 1500 wt inverter to see what size and type of fuse they recommend. I have a Zantrex 2000 wt and also another at 1000wt and Mine recommended the ANL Fuse. I have two different size fuses installed in this holder and I have heavy cable connected between the fuse holder and the inverter. Again I would recommend what the inverter manual suggests. The cable you can find here on Amazon. Sorry I am not more help.

The inverter has the cable with MC4 connector as shown in the picture. The other cable has a special connector to plug into the trunk cable (not included)

Hmmm , I'm sorry I'm not to sure about that , You can check to see if there is a fuse on the inside of the machine ..

No fuse is needed, at least I didn't add one. I hooked it right to the battery. Very easy setup!

I have not burned out any fuses, so I haven't had to do any troubleshooting. Sorry I couldn't answer your question. The machine has worked very well for me.

We install the fuse on the positive cable (red) of the battery. We utilize a charger/inverter combination so only 1 cable connecting to battery and use a fuse that must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse rating in your inverter/Charger's nameplate as recommended by the manufacturer of the inverter/charger which in our case since we use a 1500 W Inverter is 200A

You will need fuse for every connection. If your inverter size is 1000W, you have to consider the current draw from the battery is 1000/12=83Amp. When you size the fuse, typically you need to times 1.2, so a fuse size 100Amp is safe.

Yes. But I have to tell you that I bought this inverter and after just two or three hours of use was damaged!

Sorry, I cannot answer the specific question. I do know that i simply replaced the original and it ran fine with no changes in the fuse, etc. Tom D.

Clarification: you are fusing the wire and not the inverter. But assuming you have sized your wire correctly for the distance needed you should install a 200 or 250 amp fuse depending on the intended use of the inverter. If you plan on using the full 3000 watts or the 6000 watt startup surge on a regular basis use the 250 otherwise 200 would be safer.

no breakers or fuses come with this item. I got this unit just for the DC converter. that was all that I needed to repair my unit. I could buy the whole unit for same price as just the dc converter, easy to change out. THX Mark

Personally, I would go lower but not higher. the purpose of the fuse is to protect the Inverter. Mine specified 80Amps, so I would not have gone higher than that (warranty), but you could go lower, say 60Amp. The unit I bought came with an 80Amp and a 60Amp fuse. I used the 80Amp and saved the 60Amp as a spare.

There is no fuse or circuit breaker on the input side of the unit (12 volt side). There is a GFCI outlet on the output (120 volt) side. Therefore, you will need to add a fuse to the Positive terminal of the 12 volt input side of the inverter.

I am not certain Mike, I never checked. The cap has changed on the replacement unit but I can only imagine that the fuse imbedded in the windings. I did not look close enough.

you need to use a big gauge wire size (I think I used 0 or 2, and they make really flexible ones now that are nice if you plan on running it around corners. The manual says 4 gauge is the smallest you can use). I'm not sure about fuses... I bought a couple of big fuses but didn't end up using them. I've just looked over the manual and it does show a fuse installed between the positive terminal on the inverter and the battery, so I better make the change. This inverter has been really great, though.... I might even get a second one.

i am not sure if it does have a fuse, most of the time the fuses are in the plug side of the item, i have not check to see if there was a fuse all i know it works great for me
