 Posted: Fri May 09, 2014 5:56 am Post subject: how to build a 16AWG fuse link |
 |
|
I'm building a 16 AWG fuse link for a 12AWG wire (the one that goes from the
Alternator to the starter contactor in e.g. Z16M).
I was thinking of simply solder splicing a piece of 16AWG onto the end of
the 12AWG wire and heat-shrinking the whole thing. Is that correct or is
there anything else I need to know?
The link at http://www.aeroelectric.com/articles/fuselink/fuselink.html says
"contact us for manufacturing larger fuselinks than 20AWG" so I was left
wondering.

Solder and shrink would be fine. An alternative
would be a COTS automotive offering:

I'm going to revise that drawing in the future to put a
MAXI fuse holder or perhaps one of these
in that location.

I've got some of these in surplus stock. I'll
mail you one if you want to go that route.

Thanks Bob.
I was thinking a 30A slow blow fuse (they only exist in Maxi blade sizes) might be appropriate but I can't find one here locally nor an appropriately sized fuse holder.
I'd be happy to buy a couple off you if you have some spares (i say a couple as I could use one on one of the circuits on my sailboat too).

Doesn't need to be "slow blo" . . . unless they've
upsized your alternator, it's only good for about 20A,
A 30A fuse of any style would be find.
