Re: Silly question time
Probably don't have a 'solar fuse' Wayne. I don't have any.
Only OldTrack & AGM reckon you need one. Maybe Julian too?
A rubbed through wire and a 'dead short' will have no sting to it. (so I've ben told?)

Re: Silly question time
Can't remember if I put a solar fuse in or not, they are needed when the solid state relay method is used to protect the solar wiring from the battery to prevent a fire, the latest idea is to use a double pole DC circuit breaker specifically designed for the job so there is an off switch as well to cut the solar.
As far as which fuse it might be Wayne, trace the cables in each direction from the SSR and look for a fuse.

Re: Silly question time
Wayne, When you find out who turned off that isolator, I reckon you should give him an uppercut.
