How many watts can a 80 amp fuse handle?

How many watts can a 80 amp fuse handle?

How much wattage could you get through an 80 amp fuse??? Theoretically you can get 1000-1200 at 12-14.4 volt, but as your voltage rises you will draw less current to create the same amount of power. So at 12-14.4 volts you can get 1000-1200 but at 16-17.2 volts you can get 1200+ watts.

What is a holder fuse?

A fuse holder is a type of fuse accessory that is required to integrate fuses that cannot be dropped directly into conductive paths due to their shape and size.

Do I need a fuse holder for my amp?

Regardless of the type of fuse you use, it’s important to select a fuse holder that meets or exceeds the rating of the fuse that you plan on installing. If you determine that you need a 30 amp inline fuse, don’t install a fuse holder that’s only rated for 25 amps.

How many watts can a 100 amp fuse handle?

The answer, assuming a 100 amp circuit breaker is used, is 100 amps * 240 volts, or 24,000 watts.

What amp fuse do I need for amplifier?

The correct size of fuse to use depends on the amp you are wiring. If your amp has an internal fuse, then your inline car amp fuse should be a bit larger. For instance, if your amp has an internal 20 amp fuse, then you should go for a 25 or 30 amp inline fuse.

How many watts can a 5 amp fuse handle?

If your lighting circuit at home is protected by a typical 5 amp fuse you can multiply this by the voltage to get 1150 Watts.

What should the fuse be on a 130amp 3G alternator?

In a 130amp 3G the fuse should be a minimum 160amps, preferable 180 or 200amps. As when the stock alternator is loaded way down, it can produce 160amps at about 12.8 volts. This varies from alternator to alternator and is much higher for high output alternators.

What happens when the Fuse goes off on a 100A alternator?

Little voltage (12.4V) over the battery suggesting it’s still not charging (should be seeing 14+ iirc) then we get a nice lights display from the alternator and all the lights go off on the dash (as in, nil voltage guvna). Looks in the fuse box and the 100A fuse has gone.

Can a battery fuse be fried by an alternator?

This can cause a fire as all the amperage created by the alternator is going to ground. But the alternator is the source of the power, so the breakers will not be able to prevent this. Once the alternator has fried the stator, it then becomes possible for the power to come from the battery to the stator.

Is it safe to use a breaker with an alternator?

In the end a breaker only protects your system from a cable short between it and the alternator. It will not help with most other problems, including a cable short between it and the battery. So going a little bigger with the breaker, if you use one, is actually safer both physically and financially.
