Hi,
I am wondering why we should use 70v/250A busbar instead of a 70v/250A fuse holder ?
The busbar is usually twice the price and I don't understand why.
Any advice there ?
Thanks a lot.

Need advice regarding busbars and fuses?
Have a look at Wiring Unlimited.
Bus bar is more expensive because of the copper. An bus bar is use for current sharing and avoiding lugs stacking. If you dont have a need for that then use the fuse holder.
BTW you can also get modular fuse holders.
If you look at the datasheets for each product, you will see differences in bus bar dimensions and terminal material.
So the main difference would be install location. I would think the more expensive one can handle salty conditions better. (So marine application)
