Why TWO Fuses?
F650 Flaying the VR FAQ (obsolete!)Flash suggests just putting in ONE fuse between the VR/Relay87/Battery+ is sufficient. (Red Dashed Line). i.e. Move EITHER fuse upstream of where the two fused branches come together. Then lose the second fuse entirely. However, HsN notes that's essentially the same as trying to just fuse the VR output. Then the battery positive runs straight to the VR with no fuse protection. If the VR should fail in a short, with no fuse Bad Things happen.

Why do my fuses blow?
SCECA - Suffolk County Electrical Contractors Association, I...Fuses protect the wiring from an overload (excessive current) if your fuses or circuit breakers blow, this is an indication that circuit has been overloaded. This could be caused by too many appliances plugged in, or too many rooms (outlets & lights) on 1 circuit.

Ensure that your installer is experienced in regard to DC electricity, knowledgable in the relevant standards and preferably accredited.
Related QuestionsHow do I know if my PV system needs fuses?
Fronius USAThe commonly accepted interpretation of the NEC on this topic is that if an inverter that does not allow AC current backfeed (like the FRONIUS IG), the equation to be used is (N-1) x 1.25 x Isc < module series fuse rating, where N equals the number of strings, Isc is the STC short circuit current of the module in use, and the series fuse rating is the value found on the manufacturer's module specification sheet.
Related QuestionsWhy do ADCOM amplifiers use fuses?
ADCOM FAQsIf a fuse blows, something's wrong - but that doesn't mean the amp is defective! Speaker fuses will open if you accidentally touch a wire across the positive (red) and negative (black) speaker terminals when the amp is on. This usually happens during initial setup even though our owner's manuals specifically warn against this practice. Replace fuses with new ones of the same type and value only!

It seems the fuse blows if I start the engine with the high beams (and the Rally) lights turned on. I don't know about the other years, but the '02 Dakar has the lights shut down while cranking, and then they come back on after the engine fires up. This is when the 15A in-line fuse seems to blow.

Related QuestionsWhy Fuses Instead of Breakers For UPS Distribution Panels?
UPS Battery Sizing Chart and Technical Information - America...The goal of any well designed UPS system is to maintain power to the load at all times. However, since the output of the UPS is generally fed through a distribution panelboard to the load, there may be times when an overload or fault occurs on one or more branch circuits that has the potential for dropping the load(s) on that branch.
Related QuestionsBack to Top Subject: Breakers? Can't I use fuses?
FAQStatistics show that fuse panels have a significantly higher risk of causing a fire than breaker panels. This is usually due to the fuse being loosely screwed in, or the contacts corroding and heating up over time, or the wrong size fuse being installed, or the proverbial "replace the fuse with a penny" trick. Since breakers are more permanently installed, and have better connection mechanisms, the risk of fire is considerably less.
Related QuestionsQ. What type of fuses are used in Parmak Fencers?
Parker McCrory Mfg CoAll AC models use 1 amp fuses. These fuses are designed to help protect the fencer against lightning and poor ground damage. When replacing fuses, use (3AG) 1 AMP fuse only.

Related QuestionsAre there any benefits to using circuit breakers instead of fuses?
United PowerElectrical systems age and can become overloaded, particularly in older homes. Over the years as more lighting, appliances and equipment are added, the electrical system becomes overburdened and problems can develop. If fuses blow or circuit breakers protecting branch circuits trip frequently, new branch circuits or other repairs may be necessary. Depending on the condition of the equipment and the extent of the repairs, the cost may be nominal or could run into several thousand dollars.
