Hope this is the right thread for this, couldn't find an electrical thread. I am trying to figure out the proper fuse size for my push button starter and lights I have installed and any future electrical I will add to the machine. I have used 18g wire but am thinking I might have to go heavier.
Here is the data on the lights:
6. Voltage:9-18V 55W
7. Amp Draw: 3.2A
8. Power: 55W 4500lm
Ive read two different things on two different sites, one said fuse the wire not the item and listed an 18g wire as needing approx a 2.5A fuse with a max current of 4.6A. The other listed 18g wire as being able to handle a max current of 15A thus a 7.5A fuse would be recommended.
Can anyone clarify this for me and give me an idea on how to properly select the correct size fuse.
Thanks
