Solar charge controller question

Hi all,


I am hoping to wire up a 180 watt solar panel to my Victron MPPT 75/10 solar charger. I understand that this should be wired into the distribution blocks. I was wondering what amp midi fuse I should use for the positive distribution block, I am using 4mm squared cable. The guide I have purchased states 10 amp, but they don't seem to exist!


Thanks in advance,


James

Not sure what guide you are looking at by the manual on page 10 indicates between 15A and 20A fuse for the 75/10

Unfortunately you can not find a 10a midi fuse.

You could use 6mm cable and a 30a midi fuse to protect the cable between the battery and mppt.

30a midi fuse.

test.
