Additional fuse box.

[Cracka]

Ok lads, I have a Baintech 6 way fuse box with the + and - inputs which I want to put under my 'modified' cubby box or under the drivers seat ('12 D90). The fuse box will be used just for the usual accessories, power outlets lights etc (future proofing :D) it has a 100 amp total rating.

I have a Traxide USI 160 installed in the batt compartment with the standard Varta Batt and Optima D34m as the aux.

I was thinking of using 6 B&S cable to connect the aux batt to the fuse box as I already have some left over from the anderson plug install.

Questions, do I:

1. Put an 50 amp auto reset circuit breaker in the batt compartment (would this be big enough) to protect the run to the fuse box.

OR

2. Source a 100 amp fuse/circuit breaker for this location.

I am assuming I need to fuse the cable run here just in case I get a short somewhere between leaving the batt compartment and the new fuse box.

Another option:

3. If I locate the fuse box in the batt compartment near the battery, do I need to fuse between the 2.

Thanks

Any ideas.............

You guys that have the Mulgo's exbox fitted with the extra fuse box inside it, what (cable size and fuse size) have you used to connect from the battery to the fuse box.

Ok did some work on the car today, definatley don't have the room in the batt compartment for the fuse box so it will be going under the cubby box so my initial question still stands.

What size fuse/circuit breaker for 6B&S cable from the batt to the fuse box.

Here is an example of my confusion with amp rating of the cable.

Narva is 140 amp based on 60% duty cycle for 5 minutes.

Tycab state 103 amps (AMP RATING: TO JASO D609 derating factors apply).

Thats all double dutch to me unfortunately, it would be nice to see it all uniform.

I don't want to limit my 100amp fuse box to 50 amps (circuit breaker) if I can use bigger.
