NEC article 551 requires that you install a recognized UL component fuse block and UL listed fuse within 18 inches of the battery.The fuse’s rating must equal or exceed the Minimum DC Fuse Rating listed in your APS model’s specifications on page 13. 2. Choose a battery configuration appropriate to your batteries. Single Battery Connection:

When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” power ratings with “peak” power ratings. Electric motors require more power to turn on (“peak power”) than they require to run continuously.“Peak”power ratings are usually 2 to 5 times “continuous” ratings. Most ele
