I'm installing a relatively small 24 volt inverter (1000 watt cont) and want some way to disconnect as well as fuse it. I have a Square D fused disconnect rated at 60 (I think) amps per leg. It's one of those that snaps when the circuit is opened to reduce arcing. I know fuses will work fine on AC and DC, but how about the disconnect? I wouldn't be disconnecting it while under load. I suppose each 'half' of the disconnect could handle 60 amps, like on AC. This would also also be ideal for disconnecting my Vanner eq, as It would disconnect both the 12 and 24 volt taps without requiring two disconnect switches. Anyway, I've got a couple laying around and they seem like the ideal fused disconnect, if they'll work. I've attached a pic similar to what I'm talking about using. Thanks for any feedback.

Hi David,
I'm a firm belever in "you can't have too many fuses or disconnects".. You can have Options with them in your system.
As long as your ratings are proper, there is no reason not to use them.
Good Luck
