Hi,
I have a Victron Phoenix 12/375 (230V). I could not see any mention in the installation menu of it requiring a fuse on the DC supply side.
Is it required?
Thanks
Al

Yes you always fuse as close to the battery as possible, or when you branch of from a bigger wire that is already fused.
The fuse should probably be 30A with appropriate wiring.
Thanks I have done that.
I have also powered it up for the first time. It is installed on a boat with no shorepower.
The output is 230v AC, and it appears to power devices just fine, however I am measuring 115v AC between Earth and Neutral on the AC plug on the inverter - I do not think this is normal.
I note this is exactly half the AC output (230v). Thoughts?
@bigal I also have a Phoenix 12/375 and can't see any mention of installing a fuse in the manual. It mentions an 80A internal fuse.
A 375VA (375W) inverter should be capable of outputting 375/12 = 31.25A constantly, so a 30A fuse would certainly not be enough @Boekel . I think I will match the size of the internal fuse and install an 80A fuse between the inverter and my 12V agm house battery.
