CCP fusing

[johnporter11]

The customer connection point (CCP) on the seat box of my Mk8 Transit is fused by Ford at 60A (just behind the connection point). Does this mean I can take a 16mm 50A power supply from it without an additional fuse on the cable?

Technically yes.
But you're always better having a fuse closer to the max load than higher.

On mine John I didn’t use the ccp for anything the only high power cable on mine is for the Sterling charger and I’ve used heavy duty fuse box with bolt in fuses straight to the battery in and out of the Sterling that’s my only connection to the van system I did it this way as I have a swivel seat base that I would have to remove to change a fuse.

My existing arrangement (50A Renogy, although I doubt if it's ever had to deliver 50A) is straight off the battery. I set it up with a Chinese breaker three years ago, at a time when I knew nothing about their alleged unreliability (although I've never had any issues). I think I'll change the breaker to an isolator switch and fit a 60A midi fuse about 100mm from the battery terminal.

You can.

I have my Victron Orion connected like that but used the CCP from inside the OEM fuse box instead of the seat base.



Here where you see the removed fuse is the busbar going to the CCP, you can add your B2B input wire there too.

That appears to be fused at 150A. How are you protecting your cable?

Not the 150A but the one below that has the fuse removed wich has the cable attached, that is the 60A CCP1.
