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.
@stconseil
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 ?
So what bus bar are you referring to that is more expensive and which is cheaper?
You get a bus bar for the modular fuses, yes. Are you referring to the lynx bus bar system?
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)
