Do you add a fuse and relay to the main positive incoming from the battery? If so what size?

i used it to connect an array of solar panels. don't know why you would want a relay, but you could connect a inline fuse if you wanted to.

On the BlueSea web site, the page for this product, on the left side it has a link for "Wiring schematic" if you click on that it shows the incoming power can be fused up to 125 Amps. With that said, IF you like switches you can put a relay inline with the main power and it should be rated higher than 125 amps. I personally would not recommend putting a relay inline with the main power. Just my .02. Hope that helps.

I didn't but its not a bad idea. how big?no less then 50amps with reset, it depends on how much you draw i don't think you need a relay

Tom. Hook it to 12V positive along with the red wire with the fuse. The blue one can be used for a remote switch if need be. Doug

no, it needs to be wired directly to the battery with a 30 amp inline fuse added.

if you just hook up 2 you can hook them up with out a relay. Be sure to use a fuse in the circuit.

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

It comes with the fuse holder and the fuse you have to install it but that's simple to do just install it about 6inches from the battery :)

I didn't use a fuse block I went straight to the battery. I used the wire that came with the winch and have had no problems.

Sorry, I had the outlet installed into my dash and I think the existing fuse was not used. I think it was the larger size fuse not the mini size.

Yes its a very simple set up. Like I said you might need to add some more wire for the set up. Has fuse link to for positive do not forget that.

As far as I know, the fuse is to protect the wire running from the battery. Without a fuse, the wire could be overloaded, heat up and possible catch on fire. A fuse is not very expensive, definilty worth it for your safety. The fuse needs to be rated for the gauge wire that you are going to use. I have 0 gauge wire running from the battery with a 250 amp fuse. The fuse needs to be on the positive wire within 18 inches from the battery.

The power source is connected to the fuse box with an open fuse. Then instead of drilling it in we used 3m double sided to install them.

I have two of these panels mounted to the roof of my 5th wheel camper. I did not install a fuse in line. I did install the "controller" which is supposed to prevent overcharging of the batteries and prevents discharge at night. I have not had any negative issues with these panels.

If you wire it in to the ignition switch. I wired mine with a fuse and toggle direct to the battery

No just buy some heavy gauge wire for the power,and a little heavy gauge wire for the ground ,also get in-line fuse put it close to the pos.side to the battery.You'll need some speaker wires too but not much. ok thats about it.

I don't know the fuse size. But I have had something plugged into all four ports, and never had a problem. Fuse still good.

I did direct to battery. the fuse and switch is included. the splitter are a little bit tricky and stiff but the trick is to lift the bar piece up one at a time, one side to the other.

I would always use a fuse in case the diode should fail in the panel or failure of your battery charging circuit/batteries. I've melted plenty of wires to know the value of a fuse. I also need to practice more of what i preach :)
