For cebeo you need a VAT number. If that’s a problem for you (you don’t know anyone with a VAT number willing to order them for you), you can try contacting gigatek.be, they are a cebeo reseller. I see they have the fuses for sale on the website, but the fuse holders not, but if you ask them they’ll probably order them for you as well…

I paid 37 euro per box of three fuses, and 132 euro per 3p fuse holder (vat incl.)

I used the thermal camera for peace of mind, but it wasn’t necessary, nothing went higher than 30 degrees celcius or so. I imagine if you follow proper design rules (good quality components, sufficient cable thickness, …), crimp the terminal lugs well, and torque the bolts correctly, you shouldn’t have any issues.

Finished the inspection today. Now waiting on the report to notify Fluvius.
