[QUOTE="staan, post: 8543251, member: 669929"] Question, wouldn't this type of fusing cause no or at least compromised protection from a dead short? For instance, say you have 0/1 on multiple runs going into the fuses and one of the cables gets shorted to ground and starts pulling current. It will pop fuses but overall the shorted cable will take the sum of all the fuses worth of current until they all pop which could cause a fire with that amount of current. I would imagine non common separated fuse linkage for each wire would prevent such a scenario. ie: I don't think using buss bars as a fusible link setup is a good idea. lol you seen it as I was typin this [/QUOTE]
