What size fuse for a 300 Watt pure sine wave inverter in an RV for a 22" TV and a DVD player (12 volt DC to 110 volt AC) ?

The Go Power manual for their 300 watt inverter recommends a 40 amp fuse on the DC side.

Watts=volts*amps... so 300 watts / 12 volts is 25 amps minimum for max power output. As to the tv/dvd player - hope you mean LCD, should be no problem, crt could be.

You should definitely look in the product manual for your inverter (probably available online). The manufacturer of my 300-watt pure sine wave inverter specifies a 40 amp fuse.

Hi Miss, You probable have your answer but I thought I would elaborate on this. On the DC side, 25 amps. On the AC side, 15 or 20 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Not sure which side e.g. AC or DC you were refering to. You could use a AC power strip & surge protector that has a 15 amp breaker built into it with a manual reset button. Good luck, Greg.

The size fuse depends on the load. Typical on a main line for a boat or rv is 50 amps. The fuse is on the hot side going to the converter. Hopefully your input side has a fuse if it is from a charger. If from a motor, ie generator/alternator, no additional one is typically neede.

Check the polarity of the connections, also check the load,too much will blow the fuse. It's to protect the inverter.If all else fails call the manufacturer.

I would, 2000 watts @ 12 volts = 166.6 amps. The hot leg of any circuit (AC or DC) should always be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker. If you don't have a manual on your inverter search the internet to try to find its spec sheet to find out its max load in amps then size your fuse (or breaker) just slightly larger then it's max amp load

A good rule for me was always to look for a converter with 50% more Watts as what the device needs max.Manufacturer says, 300 Watt only for short time or it will overheat. At least it has a "Thermal Fuse Protection", but i would not recommend it for a kitchen device (powder, liquid all around).

calculate amp x volts for your compter up to 900 watts inverter capacity good luck

That's an open question. I'm not sure what you are using this for. The fuse is determined by the size of the load and not the battery. If you read the directions on the charge controller, I used a SunSaver 10L Charge Controller with LVD, it will give you some assistance depending on the DC load. If you are hooking up an inverter to the battery you will follow the recommendations of the inverter manufacture. Otherwise expand a little on your intended use.

My unit uses 35W and needs AC100-120V which is a regular wall current.you can purchase one that needs more Wattage

It's a modified sine wave inverter rated at 1350 watt continuous 1500 watt surge. Note however, that the battery inside the case is not sufficiently sized to run the inverter at it's full rated capacity for more than 10 or so minutes if that long.

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.

it depends on the amp draw from all of your appliances. 110 volts can power a 65" or 19" tv. check the amp draw for the appliances. The other gotcha is - most of these newer inverters are not accurate as far as capacity goes. for example - i bought one of these as a spare in case my old (7 year+) walmart inverter died. it could not handle the load but the old walmart one had no problem. my best advice is - buy one about 2x the amperage you need and be prepared to return it. do not use it in a situation which you cannot have it fail. have some sort of spare... these guys that answered "yes" haven't got a clue as to what you are really powering. it depends on the amp draw from all of your appliances. 110 volts can power a 65" or 19" tv. check the amp draw for the appliances.

2.1 Amps max output at 5 Volts = 10.5 Watts = 0.875 Amps at 12 Volts so a 1 amp fuse would work just fine.

My grid tie 300 watt inverter is connected to two 150 watt 22 volt panels. Working just fine at that voltage. The previous one burnt out with three panels connected to it. Apparently the voltage and amperage had increased when at full sun. I would consider de-rating all voltage values to 80 percent on any inverter you purchase.

If u have 30 amp Rv u should get the 30 surge protector50 amp will work with adapters

This kit won't provide enough power for a 5000 watt inverter. You'll need to calculate the distance for a 450 amp load, assuming 12 volts, your 5k watt inverter and a safety buffer. Additionally, you want finely stranded conductors as DC current prefers the fine strands over the thicker material you can pick up at your local hardware store (typically designed for AC power.) If you can't find the product you need on Amazon, check out a local welding supply shop, car stereo shop or a business that works with solar power or specialty battery supply. Don't forget a properly rated fuse as well.

Oh the fuse is huge, I think 50 amps. You can get a smaller fuse though and substitute it into the gold plated connector
