Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. For this reason the length of cable from the battery +ve to the first fuse should be as short as possible so that damage is minimised in the event of an electrical fire. For example, if the normal expected current draw is 10A and the cable size is 25A, then a fuse rated at 15A would be appropriate.

They are installed with the cable being protected and are designed to melt and break the circuit in an over-current condition. There are some instances where fuses are not normally used and one example is for the, normally short, length of cable from the battery to the starter motor. The installer is ultimately responsible for the safety of the system so if you are in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.Once we have fully tested the item and confirmed the fault, we will process the refund or exchange including cost of carriage back to us (within reason).

If there is a short anywhere along this length then it is very likely to catch fire as the first fuse will not experience the excess current. Year Limited Warranty for Air Lift Performance bolt-on Performance Series and Slam Series suspension kits purchased with a 3HTM, 3PTM or 3STM Air Management/Control System on or after 09/03/2021. The other reason for not fusing the starter circuit is that if the battery is disconnected from the alternator whilst it is turning (as would be the case if a fuse blew) the diodes in the alternator's rectifier can be damaged.Manual Reset: Visible reset lever shows open condition, unique push button reset can also be used as a kill switch. The general consensus with the blue sea breakers (I retired them) is that they may sustain some arc damage if the are switched off (open) under load with voltages higher than 48 volts (56). For this reason it is usually deemed impractical to fuse this length of cable, although some vehicles do have fusible links which are simply a small section of lower current rating cable encased in a fireproof sleeve.

It is good practice not to allow the continuous current to exceed 75% of the fuse's rated value to accommodate momentary current surges that might cause the fuse to fatigue over time or blow unnecessarily (nuisance blow). These circuit breakers are designed to protect your vehicle's electrical system from overcurrent, overload, and short circuit situations. DIHOOL 160 Amp DC Circuit Breaker for Off/ON-Grid Solar System, 1 Poles Battery Disconnect Switch for Inverter https://a. I’d rather have a very fast fuse knowing that it limits my startup inrush current for devices plugged into the inverter (like motor startup).If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. Unwanted Goods: In accordance with The Consumer Contracts Regulations (2015), you have a 14 working day 'cooling off period' in which you have the right to cancel your purchase and receive a full refund. A good compromise is that every individual circuit should be fused as this provides a good degree of protection and at least allows you to narrow down the problem to one circuit.
