Discuss Is fuse wire DC rated? in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

Very informative answer Lucien, thanks a lot :)

The big question then, is how to apply fusing factors to wire fuses, when being used on a 12V DC system.

If I cannot answer this question, then I cannot fuse the circuits appropriately, or guarantee to my client that he is appropriately protected.

Changing to an automotive fuse box is a good idea, but it seems like an unecessary expense if the current fuse box is good enough for his needs.

But I would need to figure out how to apply fusing factors to these wire fuses. It sounds like something simple to learn, but by searching on Google for 20 minutes I wasn't able to find the relevant information. Anyone please?
 
Just thought I would pop this in the thread purely based on the topic of fuses, I have not read it so please read in detail before using it as a guide in future.
