I have 3 x 200ah 12v Lifepo4 batteries, fitted.

I have a Victron MultiPlus-II 12_3000_120-32 230V and a Victron Lynx Distributor, fitted. I might have to move the Lynx and the Multiplus slightly, to allow for ventilation fans, for the MultiPlus-II and the victron Orion-Tr Smart DC-DC Charger Isolated 12 12 30 that will be fitted here.

I have added Fuse values, that I think would be correct but this will depend on the cable size that I end up using.

I have planned for:

In the Lynx.
1, A 400A Fuse for the MultiPlus-II. The cables will be about 0.5m and the plan is to use single 95mm² cables.

2, A 150A fuse (not 250A as it says on the image.) for the 12v House system. This will include the original 12v distribution box (CBE DS300) and the new 12 way (100A max) Fused distribution panel.

The original distribution board, electrical diagram, shows a 50A fuse from the house batteries. The new fused 12dc distribution panel is rated at 100A.

The plan is to use 50mm² cable for this circuit. Through 2 Blue Sea Systems 300 Amp 48v m-Series Battery Switches. One for the original 12v distribution board. This is about 6m away and will be run in 35mm² cable. And, one for the new distribution board. This is about 0.25m away and will be run in 35mm² cable.

3, A 70A fuse, to and from the Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150 l 60 Tr.
This is in the house section and again will be about 3m away from the Lynx. The plan is to use 25mm² cable for this. Through a Blue Sea Systems 300 Amp 48v m-Series Battery Switch and continue the last 0.25m in the biggest cable that the SmartSolar will accept.

4, A 60A fuse, from the Orion-Tr Smart.
This will be about 0.5m away from the Lynx and about 1m away from the Starter batteries. There will be a Victron 60A megga fuse at the Starter battery.
The plan is to use 6mm² for both of these.

Does this sound right and safe? Any suggestions welcome.
