How close should a fuse be to the battery?
A fuse is there to protect the wire. Should be within 8″ of battery. A fuse is there to protect the wire.
Where does the fuse go in a circuit?
Fuses should always be connected to the hot wire and should be placed before any other component in the circuit. In most projects, the fuse should be the first thing the hot wire connects to after it enters your project enclosure.
What does the fuse on the positive battery cable do?
So, fuse has no sense. Some cars have “ battery disconnect explosive charge terminal “ connected with airbag sensor. It disconnects battery if you crash car to prevent sparking an fire after incident. ServiceTitan® is built to grow your electrical business.
Where to place the fuse on a battery?
Recommended practice is to place the fuse near the positive terminal of the battery, so the whole circuit will be dead if the fuse blows. (Of course, if the positive terminal is considered Ground, place the fuse near the negative terminal.)
What happens if a fuse blows on the return line?
The fuses are placed in the positive lines from the battery and close to the battery. If a fault occurs on the line between the fuse and the load the fuse blows and current flow stops. A ground fault on the return line is unlikely to cause any problems as there is no significant voltage on it.
Does it matter if a fuse is connected to the negative or?
It should be clear that a ground fault on the positive wire would be unprotected, F4 would not blow but BAT4 would pass high currents. Again, for circuit analysis it is normal to use the conventional current flow from positive to negative. Don’t worry about electrons, just think of it as charge moving from + to -.

What kind of Fuse is a catastrophic fuse?
The catastrophic fuse sometimes called a terminal fuse, is a Class T (fast acting and compact) fuse installed as close to the battery as possible and is there in case of a dead short circuit. Like for instance dropping a tool or other metal object across the positive and negative battery lines.
The fuses are placed in the positive lines from the battery and close to the battery. If a fault occurs on the line between the fuse and the load the fuse blows and current flow stops. A ground fault on the return line is unlikely to cause any problems as there is no significant voltage on it.
