Got it. So add an inline fuse between battery and reducer. Assume I match fuse size to reducer?

For a 30 amp reducer, use #16 wire and a 10 amp fuse for the 48 volt input.

Use #10 wire for the 12 volt wire from the reducer to the distribution block.

If you want to fuse this 30 amp wire, use a 30 amp fuse. This is not necessary as the reducer will fail long before the #10 wire does.
