Fuse Question

[Bumpin'Buick 10+ year member]

If one of my amps that have 40amp x 3 fuses and my other amp that has a 30amp fuse, would the 120 amp fuse in the fuse holder on my 4awg amp kit be enough?

I'm not sure exactly how it adds up, but if you took the 120amps from my one amp and the 30 from my other, that's 150amps, but like I said, I don't know if that's how you look at it.

Thanks for the help.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

100-120A will be fine for 4 ga wire

Fuses on the amps are for the amps, fuses on the wire are for the wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

You fuse the wire with too big of a fuse and the wire melts before the fuse blows, then you have yourself a little fire
