Battery to inverter wire fuse

[tensch]

I am getting ready to install an inverter in the pass through of my 2024 Imagine MLE. I have seen some wiring diagrams with a fuse on the positive cable side from the battery to the inverter. My questions.....is this needed and recommended? I was thinking of adding either an inline or a battery terminal fuse (250 amps?).
Would these both accomplish the same thing, or is one recommended over the other? My system will consist of a 230Ah lithium battery, Smart Shunt, 2000 watt Renogy inverter, a transfer switch, 40 amp Furrion controller, and two 180 watt Furrion panels. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, a fuse is required to protect your coach. Look at the maximum draw your inverter can make and size your fuse to handle that, I'm not sure about the inverter you cite, a 250 Amp fuse may be enough. I used a terminal block fuse in my setup since it worked for my wiring layout. An inline fuse could also be used.

The fuse is there to protect the wire so it depends on the gauge wire you are feeding the inverter with.

The inverter came with two 3 ft 1/0 cables. I plan to use them if I can place the inverter close enough to the batteries.
I think I should be able to but it will be close.
