Lynx Dustribution fuse - low amperage

Hi all, installing a Lynx distribution and i see that it only accepts maxi fuses.

I will be connecting the following-

2 x 12v 100/20 mppts

1 x 12v 100/30 mppt

1 x dcdc orion tr smart 30

The smallest maxi fuse i can find is 40amp.

To me that'd be too high for the above items, has anyone found smaller maxi fuses for these types of components?

Cheers

As long as your cables are sized for 40A, this is fine.

A Lynx Distributor is too expensive (proportionally) for such a small system.

Use smaller busbars (you can even DiY) and fuse holders.

I've actually got the lynx power in that I've added the extra bolts to so i can fuse it.


I did look at the cost comparison and it worked out close enough for me because i like how neat it'll all look too.

Yeah, the neat look and compact size is hard to replicate with separate components. But worst case, it should cost less than half the price.
