[QUOTE="Merlin, post: 192881, member: 5310"] Correct, every load should be protected with a fuse! There is no need to go nuts (oversize) with wire sizes, but in most cases, people use too small of a wire for the current load they are trying to power up and as mentioned above, sometimes they over fuse the wire. In theory, if a power wire becomes shorted to ground, the fuse should open long before the wire is damaged (melted) And DO NOT use Harbor Freight fuses! [/QUOTE]
