@NYSolar Have a quick read of especially the first para in the linked FAQ, the Victron recommendations for inverters have to take account of more factors. Larger CSA cable is always better, lower CSA is to be avoided. Putting in a smaller fuse will increase resistance and runs the risk of overheating the fuse because it is run at a higher fraction of its rated current.
