Valin -

We used all fuses in two electrical busses (dual battery, dual alternator wi/ crossfeed). Both are mounted on the panel but could be located elsewhere. On our ES panel there was room. The busses boxes are dual - you can feed 20 on the top and another 8 on the bottom from a different electrical feed. They are made by Bussmann Model 15712-20-08. We only have two breakers and they are for the alternator fields. We have never gotten a nusance trip, but that is why we put them in. Check these pictures:

The fuse panels are on the right side. We pretty much used Bob Nuckolls' dual battery/dual alternator design with ground power added, and jacks for a trickle charger to each battery.

Hope this helps.
