[QUOTE="Justintoxicated, post: 2723588, member: 561240"] I understand but the fuse holder is HUGE and I don't see how it would not be rated any less that the other ones on that page (there is no listed rating) that take fuses with way over 120 amp ratings. The fuse blocks that hold other types of fuses are basicaly the same design only they don't use blade fuses. I mean i'ts not that complex of a device it's 2 chunks of nickle plated copper with a fuse in between (same thing for all 3 of them on that page only they use different fuses). What difference does it make what kind of fuse is between the 2 pieces of copper other than the what the fuse is rated at? Correct me if' I'm wrong but I'm not understanding. It's not like it's a tiny maxi you get at autozone, the fuses are quite large, I think it's like 6 inches long total. Actualy the one I'm using is twice as big as those as it is also connecting a 0ga ground. This is a Large block for 2 runs of 0ga wire, it branches out into 4 4ga grounds and 4 power wires it is quite stout no some POS off ebay. I guessing the 1200.1 uses a 140 amp fuse but I'm not sure as diamond does not have the specs listed. So will a 120 amp fuse be close enough? [/QUOTE]
