Yes, the posts are all brass and have a bright, gleaming finish. In a large commercial semi truck, I use it for circuit and battery protection for a 12V to 110 V AC 2000 watt inverter.
A quick search for the same ANL style fuse from Bussman with a 300A rating reveals a $12 price tag. On Amazon, the price is $85 without the holder. If you see an $80 price, it's either because of a special holder or because of a different style of fuse. At $12, Bussman's ANL is a good deal. However, 85 is still quite a bit more than these. If I had to guess, they're adhering to a higher standard in terms of the materials used or the testing/validation techniques approved by a third-party agency, resulting in higher costs.
They will, in fact. To keep the cover on, I had to flip my ring terminal so that the cable was fatside down.
As long as your load is within the fuse's range, they should work. To prevent direct connection to the main side when charging an auxiliary battery, you'll need an isolator of some sort, one of the best being essentially a smart solenoid. If you're unfamiliar with this program, do some more research to avoid any unpleasant situations. (As if it were smoke...)

These fuses and holders have an aesthetically pleasing appearance that reminds me of fine jewelry. They are the only ones I would use if I needed to make a lovely display of my solar system charging panel. Despite the fact that I don't have any, these will give my panel a rich look at a price that is the best on Amazon. br>They gave it a score of 99 for functionality. Before entering meltdown, the current was 97 amperes. It doesn't get any better than that for a 100amp fuse, which is where I prefer to be. 03amperes less than the maximum rating. I've tested a lot of 100-amp fuses, and most of them are 5-amp. Being so close to the listed rating is fantastic for me because their rated capacity is 10 higher than their rated capacity. br>Because I've always believed that only the rating of the actual product, not the packaging, shipping, or anything else, belongs in product reviews, I won't say much else about them other than everything was fine and I strongly advise you to buy them. I assure you that my review is not sponsored by anyone because I bought these for myself.
Well, I was all set to install these bad boys in my dual battery setup and finally put it to the test, but almost half of the order is missing. One fuse assembly was complete when it arrived, and the base of another was missing. It didn't have a fuse or a cover, and it wasn't even in the cello. The nuts and washers are on it, albeit very loosely, indicating that the package was opened and the fuse was removed before shipping. To say the least, I'm disappointed. br>br>2 stars because they appear to be sturdy, but I won't be able to use half of the setup.
I bought these to connect an inverter's supply lines. I didn't use them because they're large, and fitting large 2/0 wires to the lugs was difficult; instead, I used Buss Marine Rated Battery fuses for a much cleaner, more compact installation.
Installs quickly and easily accommodates 4 gauge wires. br>br>Seems to fit 1/0 connections as well. br>Lid snaps on well, but zip ties are recommended because it is in the engine bay. br>br>Plastic appears thick and not cheap and thin.
The main wiring harness chafed and shorted out after 31 years of diesel engine vibration. Except for the chafe, the harness is in good condition. The fuse links were fried, and these are the replacements. Located on the inner fender, high up. There should be no issues with water. These ought to be a hit.
The fuses and plastic casing appeared to be of good quality, but there is no marking of any kind on the fuse or casing to indicate the amp rating, despite the fact that the rating stamped on the fuse is clearly visible in the listing photos. This raises a great deal of doubt. Is this the correct one that they sent me? Who knows what will happen. What is the best way to test it without blowing the fuse? Thank you, but no thanks. So I returned it and replaced it with a fuse from a different manufacturer, which has the rating stamped in the metal as well as printed on the black part, which is great to know for sure.
Except for the cover not staying on properly, it appears to be a good fuse holder. Because the cover is prone to falling off, it must be mounted carefully so that nothing grounded comes into contact with the live metal parts inside.
Simple to set up. Finding a place for them on my application was the most difficult part. The 1/0 AWG stranded wire I bought to go with these doesn't fit in the cover opening. Cutting a piece of the cover from each end is a simple fix. Due to the extreme heat in southern Nevada, plastic becomes hard and brittle over time. If that's the case, the review will be updated.
