[QUOTE="jixer, post: 177723, member: 3869"] If your going to run 10ga to feed that block I would do a 40amp. Fuses protect wire insulation if you use to big of fuse and draw too much the wire gets hot and melts the insulation then shorts. Just make sure your fuses will only let the equipment draw what the wire is rated for. If you use THHN insulated wire (sun light-gas resistant) #8=55amps #10=40amps #12=30amps #14=25amps. Lesser grades of insulation have less ampacity, but just a few amps lower, having a fuse to stop a dead short is the most important thing, dead shorts run into hundreds of amps, so any fuse you can get is better than nothing.
