Hey,
I'm planning on getting the ME0909(48V, 100Acont, 300A peak (30sec)) motor and the Kelly KDZ48400 controller. I'm using 2/0 gauge wire (70mm2) with 8mm stud ring connectors secured in by M8 screws and washers. In an effort to make sure everything is safe, I'm planning on getting a 325A fuse placed very close to the + battery terminal. This was extremely hard to find but eventually I found it here http://uk.farnell.com/siba/90-058-05-325a/fuse-fork-lift-truck-325a/dp/607710
That seems like it should be able to cope with 48V 300A. Next I needed a fuse holder. I found this
http://uk.farnell.com/littelfuse/177-5701-0001/fuse-holder/dp/307282?MER=bn_level5_4NP_LastViewed_2
which does support my fuse. Here's my question in regards to this fuse holder and fuse
Q1 - Is it safe to not have a fuse cover on it? I've seen loads of fuse holders with plastic covers on them and I can't find one for this. Should I just heatshrink it? Or should I just put it in the conduit like the rest of the 2/0 AWG wiring?
Q2 - Will my 8mm stud size lugs fit onto the terminals of the fuse holder?
Q3 - Are there any cheaper fuse holders from eBay, etc, that would suit my fuse. I could only find ones rated for 32V max and 100A.
Thanks
