[QUOTE="Oraclem19, post: 8135433, member: 652985"] This is almost right. This is nowhere near right. If you have an alt that will output 100 amps at full power, I would add 10% up to 20% to this number to allow for full power capabilities. On a 100 amp alt put the nearest size fuse to this. 125 amp or 150 amp. A 100 amp fuse on a 100 amp alt has the possibility to blow the fuse just from running, not from shorting. I do not see why you need a fuse between alternator and battery though. [/QUOTE]
