Watch the glass type GAUE Fuses the voltage drop across them can be horrendous. I did initially use them on my Airstream RV on the battery and PV charging circuits with ratings up to 225 and 450 Amp on 70-90mm cables, but was experiencing voltage drops up to nearly 3 volts! When you're only starting of with a nominal 12-14.8 volts that doesn't leave much!

I switched over to using GANL type and the problem went away ....
