Is It Safe To Connect a 30Amp Solar Controller To the 10Amp Furrion Charge Port?

Question

Question:

I have a 2024 Prime Time Tracer that has a Furrion 10A charging inlet port, would there be any issue plugging the Go Power 200A kit with a 30A controller into it?

Expert Reply:

The Furrion Solar Port Inlet # FSPINS-BS is only rated for 10 amps of maximum input so if you somehow connected your Go Power to it this would most likely burn up the wiring since the controller is putting out up to 30 amps of 12 volt power. This connector was only designed to be used with a smaller portable panel typically a 100watts.

Is The Furrion Solar Port Inlet # FSPINS-BS only rated for 14 volts running through it? seems very odd to be rated for 10 amps but only 14 volts.

@Dan Yes, the Furrion Solar Port Inlet # FSPINS-BS is only rated for 10amps of power at 14 volt maximum. This port was only designed to be used with small portable panels and not a array of panels like those mounted on the roof.

@BudM it seems to me that these specifications would make this inlet a major fire hazard. Anyone, and I know a few, putting more than 14 volts through this inlet would be at high risk of causing a fire. I know of one person using this inlet to connect 400 watts of solar through it going to an mppt controller

@BudM it also seems highly unlikely that the wire connected to this inlet is treated for at least 240 volts but the inlet is only 14 volts. Also, the pigtails that are sold to connect panels to this inlet are rated for 20 amps and 500 volts
