Suggested Fuse Sizes

Wire Gauge Recommended

Maximum Fuse Size

00 awg 400 amps

0 awg 325 amps

1 awg 250 amps

2 awg 200 amps

4 awg 125 amps

6 awg 80 amps

8 awg 50 amps

10 awg 30 amps

12 awg 20 amps

14 awg 15 amps

16 awg 7.5 amps

These are the recommended maximum fuse ratings for the corresponding wire size. Using a smaller fuse than what's recommended here will be perfectly safe.

I found it while searching the site, no one disputed it then. I will not repost this info.

I can't believe there isn't a sticky on wire, fuse size and how to figure amp draw of your equipment!

Kinda common knowledge... Just divide P(watts) by E(voltage) and you have I(current)

I know that but a lot of things that should be common knowledge is surprisingly not for some people.
