3.2 Fuse
Specifications
All recommended fuses should be connected
in series in circuit, and as close as possible to
power sources. Bolt down fuses is preferred
as they ensure a low resistance connection.
Blade type fuses are not recommended as
they can result in
a high resistance connection which can cause excess heat generation
and may damage the fuse holder and/or the wiring. Self-resetting circuit
breakers are not recommended as they may prematurely trip due to the
heat generated by the large current
fl
owing through the wires.
Please refer to the table below for the recommended fuses.
