If you want to protect the wiring from the battery to the buss place a fuse or CB close to the buss.

Bob;

Not sure I understand that.  The protection of the wire should be near the source, not at the far end.

True story, Al.  Any part of a circuit that is between the battery and the fuse is NOT protected by the fuse, and also puts the battery at risk from a dead short.

Look in the new cars; the high-amp fuses are in the engine compartment right next to the battery, so that there is as little risk as possible that the feed will short out. (Okay, and so they don't take up passenger compartment space, too.)
