2.9 Fusing
REDARC recommend using MIDI style bolt down fuses as they
ensure a low resistance connection. The REDARC FK40 and FK60
fuse kits are recommended.
Blade type fuses are not recommended as they can result in a high
resistance connection which causes excess heat and may damage
the fuse holder and/or the wiring. Self-resetting circuit breakers are
not recommended as they may trip prematurely due to the heat
generated by the current fl owing through the wires.
