  • Solar Charger and breaker Between Panels

    So, what size wire and DC circuit breaker are people using between the Furoin MTTP 50 AMP charge controller I would like to get some recommendations on which breaker to get and what and where to get quality wire to add this into my system as I should be getting a New charge controller from Lippert as mine is defective. I would like to add in this when I install the new one. also is a breaker enough or should there be a fuse somewhere in here as well?

    Thank you all for your input.

    I used a battery disconnect like this https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Disco...68187062&psc=1 between the solar panels and the solar charge controller. I used a breaker like this https://www.amazon.com/30A-300A-Circ...SABEgL-1vD_BwE between the solar charge controller and the batteries.

      Do a quick search on Amazon for a "PV disconnect" or "PV isolator". If you know max voltage and current coming into the solar charge controller that will tell you which disconnect to get. If you don't know I would get one that is overkill

        I just installed this solar disconnect from Amazon in my Reflection 303RLS, using the 10AWG existing wire https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5R2V39B...roduct_details

          I used the exact same device. Sort of overkill, but the price was right and install was simple.
