[QUOTE="IDSkoT, post: 5909489, member: 584344"] There's a search button for a reason, but what's the point of a forum if not to repeat information? Fuses are designed to break a circuit if the wire is accidentally grounded. (If the wire gets grounded, the current will over-power the wire and catch on fire.) Now, it's common practice to fuse a wire as soon as you lower wire gauge. Because a current that could produce a fire hazard in one wire could be perfectly acceptable in another. It's just in safer practices. It isn't completely needed (no fuse is NECESSARY.) But it poses a safety risk if not fused. And you fuse as per wire. I have since forgotten the fuse sizings... but here's a link [URL="http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Fuse+size+chart"]http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=Fuse+size+chart[/URL] [/QUOTE]
