Introduction
NOTE: These fuse
blocks meet the
National
Electrical Code
requirements for
overcurrent
protection.
Xantrex offers
the DC175 and
DC250 in an
enclosure for
applications
requiring NEC
compliance for
both overcurrent
protection and a
DC disconnect.
Tools/Materials Required
The Trace™ brand fuse block (TFB) protects the power
system’s DC wiring should an overcurrent condition
occur. The fuse block is placed between the battery’s
ungrounded conductor (usually the positive cable) and
the DC input terminal of the inverter.
The TFBs include a fast acting, current limiting class-T
fuse providing extremely fast protection when a short
circuit occurs. When the fuse is properly matched to the
system current, its time delay allows the inverter to
surge to full power without blowing the fuse. A plastic
cover prevents accidental short circuits to the fuse
terminals. Fuse sizes include 110, 200, 300, 350 and
400 amps.
There are two types of fuse blocks available. The
TFBxxxC fuse block has “set” screw lugs for cables with
no terminal connector’s on the ends (hereto referred to
as C-type battery cables). The TFBxxx fuse block has
stainless steel bolt connections for cables with ring
terminals (hereto referred to as ring-lugged battery
cables). Both fuse blocks include a black polycarbonate,
fiberglass reinforced base and a clear polycarbonate
snap-on cover.
• 4 screws (type depending on mounting material)
• 5/16 inch allen wrench (for C-type fuse blocks only)
• 9/16 inch socket for 3/8" hex nuts
• 1/2 inch socket for 5/16" hex nuts
• assorted screwdrivers
• knife

Installation
Mounting
NOTE: It is not
recommended to
locate the fuse
block inside the
enclosure with
the batteries
where explosive
gases may exist.
2.00"
(50.6 cm)
Locate the fuse block within 18 inches (45 cm) of the
battery. It should be placed in a location where it is
easily accessible should the fuse need replacing.
1. Squeeze the clear plastic protective cover and
remove it from the fuse block base.
2. Use the fuse block base as a template for location of
the four mounting holes. The fuse block should be
mounted to a secure surface. Allow at least 6 inches
(15 cm) from the fuse contacts to allow for removal
without shorting to a grounded object.
3. Use appropriate hardware (not supplied) to mount
the fuse block.
