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.

Busbar vs fuse holder
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.
Thanks a lot for your answer.
The fuse holder has also a bus bar included, so what is the difference? Do you mean that the fuse holder bus bar is not in copper ?
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)
