The Big Three

[Mike516882 10+ year member]

So i was reading this article on the BIG THREE, and i was wondering if it was necisary to run a inline fuse for the Positive Battery to the Positve alternator Pole. What do you think. I know it wouldnt hurt to have one and i know someone who doesnt have one. But i dont want to take the chance of blowing up my battery or burning out my Alternator. BTW the big three is upgrading the wires in you engine bay. Putting 0 gauge wire from the Negitive Battery to the Negitve Pole on the Alternator, then Step two is putting a 0 gauge wire from the Negitive Pole on the Alternator To the Chassis or frame, and Step three is puting a 0 gauge wire from the Positive Bttery to the Positive Alternator Pole, they say u should fuse it but is it needed? I dont want to BLOW UP MY RED TOP, and i dont want to burn out the 120 amp Alternator. Let me know what you guys think.

big three= new wire from the alternator positive to the battery postitive, and new wire from the engine ground to the chassis, and new wire from the battery negative to the chassis. No fuses are needed

Fuse the positive leg. Rate the fuse dependant on what size wire your using. Fuse to the max. for 4awg fuse to 150A, for 1/0awg fuse to 350A.
