So, I'm planning on using a marine fuse block for power distribution. It can take 100 amps, so I'm going to add a 100 amp DC breaker before that.
I want to wire this thing up so I can safely deliver all the 100A it'll take in the event I need all 100A.
I'm having a hard time finding wire gauge charts for 12VDC. I know I'm gonna need something between 2 and 8 gauge, but I'm not sure which.
My longest run of power cable should be 25 feet or less. Should I use 2, 4, 6, or 8 AWG?
