[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 7079990, member: 619324"] Ugh. You don't know enough to teach me. You suggest that fusing a ground cannot provide overcurrent protection. I contest that in a series circuit, it doesn't matter where the fuse is. Every electronics book or instructor in history would agree with me. Why don't you? Electrically, there is no difference in the positive and the negative. You don't seem to understand that. Do you contest that a dead short between a + and - with the - fused would not pop the fuse? All grounds connect to the chassis. The chassis is connected to the negative post of the battery. If that connection were fused, it would pop on dead shorts. Now, you are saying there is no way to fuse that so that it would pop for a small wire shorting. I contend that it's exactly the same is when you fuse the + side. You merely fuse each individual wire as you do with + fused systems. You have no point here. [/QUOTE]
