3.2 FUSE PROTECTION

Fuse protection is required for wire and component protection in case of short circuit. Fuses are to

be ﬁ tted as close as possible to the battery positive terminal.

REDARC recommend using MIDI style bolt down fuses as they ensure a low resistance connection.

The REDARC FK40 and FK60 fuse kits are recommended.

Blade type fuses are not recommended as they can result in high resistance connection which

causes excess heat and may damage the fuse holder and/or the wiring. Self-resetting circuit

breakers are not recommended as they may trip prematurely due to the heat generated by the

current ﬂ owing through the wires.
