Yes, up to 1 gauge wire can be accommodated.
It's not a mini ANL, it's a standard ANL.
Both of these individuals are incorrect. You only have a fuse for the wire, not the amp. So, if you're running 1/0 ofc, use a 300 amp fuse, and if you're running 1/0 CCA, use a 250 amp fuse. Wires are protected by fusing.
The amount of amperage drawn is calculated by multiplying the number of watts by the voltage. 500รท13. 8=36. 2 amps. To protect against fire, place the 150 under the hood near the battery. Close to the amplifier, add another 35 or 40 in line.

The FUSE holder is well-made, and it's simple to install and remove the fuse. I made use of AWG- 6 wire was easily secured under the set screws on both ends of the holder. I used two screws to hold the holder in place. screws into a travel trailer's interior frame; It safeguards a 300 watt inverter against excessive current draw. I use the inverter's AC power to power an additional AC outlet on the inside. I 'back-up' with a jumper from the interior outlet. ALL receptacles in the travel trailer should be fed with AC power. For dry camping, this provides AC to run all appliances from a Lithium Battery that is charged by a Solar Panel. WARNING. When plugging into Shore Power at a campground, the jumper cable must be removed. If only one end of this jumper is unplugged, it has the ability to SHOCK you! When the inverter isn't in use, remove the jumper completely. A 100-watt monitor is used to keep track of the Lithium battery. In the photos, there is an amp SHUNT and a current meter.
This is working very well; I waited until I had the item in use for a while to ensure that it was of good quality; the cables connecting to the fuse do not become hot, indicating that the connection is good and solid; as everyone knows, a bad conductor and or connection will become hot. However, for at least an hour, these are kept at stable temperatures with a constant 70 to 80 amp load.
There are a few things that could be improved upon. I like that there are wire clamps built in and that you don't have to crimp terminals on the end of your wire. br>br>- The top cover can be difficult to snap into place, especially if your wire isn't going straight into the fuse holder and comes into contact with the cover, or if the base of the holder has any tension or twist due to an uneven mounting surface. The cover is held in place by very small tabs, but a more positive connection would be preferable.
- I drilled a hole in the center of the base, directly beneath the fuse, and secured it with a self-tapping screw. The factory mounting locations are under the wire, and removing/installing the wire requires access to both sides of the terminal blocks.
- Other fuse options would be nice to have when placing an order. I'm using 4ga wire, but for my application, I'd like to use a fuse that's not more than 150A.
I'm using this fuse block to power my 1 ohm system on 4 gauge and it's a beast. I knew I needed something more professional after literally melting the Boss fuse holder that came with the wiring kit. So far, this device has performed admirably, and it was a breeze to install.
The product was delivered on time, but I had ordered a 150-fuse block. There was a 250 amp on this one. It wouldn't be a big deal if it weren't for the fact that I ordered the smaller amperage fuse because it requires less current to blow, which is exactly what I wanted. The 250 amp fuse that was sent to me will allow much more current to flow through in the event of a short before the fuse blows. My audio gear would have been ruined by that point. It's far too inconvenient to have to return such a minor component, but that's not the worst part. Locally, a single 150 amp fuse will cost nearly as much as the entire block/fuse combo. I guess it was just a waste of time. Aside from the fuse mixture, As a result of the 5 star rating, it appears to be a good product.
When I tried to start up an old washing machine with a full load, I drew more than 200 amp, but there was no fuse issue. I'd connected my 200Ah battery. With a 2GA LiFePO4 battery. Aims 2000 watts Power Inverter was maxed out, so cables were connected to it. My red cable, by the way, did not even get warm.
Works great for 4 to 0 AWG wire; however, you must use the included adapter for 4 guage wire, and you should never use less than 4 guage wire because it cannot be properly secured in the terminal, resulting in a poor connection that could lead to an electrical fire, as evidenced by the 1 star reviews. Also, make sure you're using the right fuse size for the job.
The product appears to be of excellent quality. The only issue I have is with the location of the mounting holes. Before you can install the wire, you must first install the screws, which was impossible for me to do where I needed it to go. It would have been better if there were two screw holes in the center, beneath the fuse spot.
