Will 100A Maxi be enough?

[bobo244 10+ year member]

I am running 1/0 from the front to a fused distro block with 4 4gauge outputs fused with maxi fuses. 2 of the outlets will run to my Viper 2500.1 (2 power supplys) and 1 will run to my Viper 200.4.

I know that the fuse is only to protect the wire, but will 100amp fuse for each output be enough or will they blow?

ok... mixed answers, well 100a is the biggest maxi fuse I have found, so I have no choice. Hope it works

i have seen a 50a fuse take over 200a of current before.

i bet he isnt going to draw that much current, especially for any amount of time. not in a daily set up anyways.
