Why do you need a fuse?
Smart shooter 3 31 download free. The main function of a fuse is to protect your wiring, but in order to do so, you’ll have to get the right fuse wire size from the start, too low and it’ll blow, too high and you’ll end up doing damage to the whole circuit!
Things could get really ugly really quickly, so to avoid all that mess you’ll need to ensure that you get the right size fuse for the job every time. For your fuse to do its job correctly and protect your wires, it should be rated about 1.1 to 1.5 times the rated current value. It’s also a great idea to get an ATC fuse holder to protect and mount your fuse.
One common misconception about choosing the correct fuse size is that it’s dependent on the load of the circuit. Actually, the load of the circuit should have nothing to do with choosing a fuse size. The fuse size should be based on the SMALLEST wire (largest gage number) in the circuit.
How to calculate fuse rating
For those of you who want to get right down to business, let’s not waste any more time, here’s how you’d go about calculating fuse size correctly in 3 simple steps:
- Determine the wire gage you already have by locating it on the package or simply by measuring it.
- Use the following table to determine the maximum current for whatever wire gage is being used.
- Take the maximum current value obtained from the table and find the largest fuse you can find that still falls within the limitations. DO NOT EXCEED THE VALUES ON THIS TABLE! Common automotive blade-style fuses exist at 5A-20A in 5A Increments. Ex: 5A,10A,15A,20A
Determining the Total Amperage of your Circuit
So you just bought your stuff at Oznium and are getting ready to plan your installation while USPS gets it to your door. One of the first questions to ask when planning your installation is what size wire to use, which will later determine what fuse to use.
Don’t worry if you’re lost, you’re at Oznium, we’re helpful here.
Current is measured in Amperes, abbreviated to Amps or just the letter A. Because of the low-current nature of the products at Oznium, most of the products, and the table that I’ve developed, have current listed in milliamperes or mA for short.
eg. 1A is equal to 1000mA
To find the total amperage in your specific installation, refer to the table below.
Find the items that you’re installing and their current requirements. Add the values and divide by 1000 to get your total current in Amps. You can use this value in the fuse size chart above to determine the minimum wire size required.
Here’s an example:
Say you bought a cold cathode kit for each side of the dash (2 Transformers), 5 superflux LED’s for your vents, and a 4.7″ Flexible LED strip for your center console.
If you want to put all of these on a single circuit, you’ll need to know the current. Based on the table above, each transformer draws 700mA, each Superflux LED draws 80mA, and the LED strip draws 80mA
Add it all up.
(700*2)+(80*5)+(80*1) = 1880mA in total.
Then.
1880mA / 1000 = 1.88A.

Put 1.88A into the top table in this post. That table tells you that you should have no smaller than 21 gauge wire for your circuit.
Personally, I would go with the 20 gauge wire and a 2.5A fuse.
If I’ve missed anything or left anything out, please correct me through PM, and I will correct the tables.
What is fuse rating?
![Fuzzmeasure Fuzzmeasure](https://img.audiofanzine.com/images/u/product/normal/supermegaultragroovy-fuzzmeasure-4-239316.jpg)
You’ll usually find the fuse rating on the side of your fuse, which will be given in amps. Fuse rating is the amount of current needed for the fuse to blow or break. When this happens, it stops the electrical power from flowing through the electrical circuit.
Why are fuses rated?
The fuse rating is a valuable piece of information because it helps you to protect your electrical circuit and therefore should never be neglected. Every electrical circuit will need a different amount of electrical current, what is just right for one electrical circuit may be too much or too little for another. Do the right thing and protect your circuit.
Hopefully this guide helps you to install all the products here at Oznium quickly and most importantly, safely.

- I have a question what size fuse in my car car should I run with a 150 W LED high beam and low beam Just want to know what size I should be running to get the most out of my LED headlights whatever information you can give me that would be helpful thank you
- Amperage is determined by W/V, so if the wattage is 150 and you are running it on 12 volts, it is 150/12. Or 12.5 amps, so I wouldn’t use over a 15 amp fuse.
- Watts ÷ volts x 1.2 = fuse size in amps required as a general rule.
- You should not run ANY SIZE fuse for your 150 watt LED or to “get the most out of it”!!!! You install a fuse to PROTECT the WIRE!!!!!!
That means FIRST you determine what size WIRE you need based on the Length of the wire run to the 150 watt lights. If there is some pre installed factory wire and you have changed the lights. The FUSE size for that Factory wire has already been determined and should NOT be increased! If the wire shorts out and has too large a fuse installed it could melt the insulation right off the copper conductor and get so hot that it could start something on fire! If I misunderstood what you were asking I apologize. I just think it’s important that NO ONE thinks a fuse size is rated only for the loads it it supplying power to. That is only one part of the considerations of properly fuse protecting a circuit.
- I’m not sure if I agree 100% with the way that calculations are being done here. For one, a 12V battery isn’t always going to be at 12V. I’ve seen battery voltages on vehicles fluctuate between 10V-13V. So if you take the worse case low battery scenario (10V), then I think that you would actually get a 15A draw RMS. but then your LEDs will draw a little higher when you first switch them on (Peak vs RMS), so if you multiply by (square root of 2 or ~ 1.41 rough estimate for peak) then you actually get about 17.1A… So if you’re blowing 15A fuses with a 150W LED setup, then I think it would be better to try a 20A fuse with wire and relay sizing to match.
- The following formula will give you size fuse you need. ( watts divided by volts times 1.25 )
- I tend to agree but that start up in rush current isn’t usually considered as fuses tend to have a tolerance for start up current. Voltage drop in a 12 volt circuit is more relevant & larger cables than required is always a prudent choice ( then fuse to suit that larger size )
- What size DC fuse should I use to power a 400 watt DC to AC inverter?
- I am installing a 20 amp max marine waterproof 12VDC socket above my rear bumper for accessories such as a tire inflator (15 amps). The cable run from the battery is approximately 15 feet.1). I want to ensure no power loss to plan on running a 10AWG wire. Is that too much, too low, or about right?
2) Does the inline fuse go near the socket or the battery? MIght install separate fuse box in the engine bay, so can add more accessories later. - My question is
How we check fuse rating ok,
Like if our fuse is 40A and on the fuse have written 40A by manufacturer but how we check it is 40A
I think may be that fuse 50 and 30 A so plese provide answer - I have a similar situation as a previous poster. I want to install an additional 12VDC 15A outlet in my car. Besides wiring to the car battery, I’m to tap in my under-dash fuse box’s rear power outlet using a Add-A-Circuit fuse tap. I believe it’s rated for 10A but many people on the internet have use 15A fuses. Anyway, the pigtail with crimp is usually a 16AWG wire. I’m also going to be using 2 15A fuses with the Add-A-Circuit tap.My question is what is the proper gauge wire to use if the cable run is about 6′-7′ from tapped 15A fuse to my center console, between my from seats. I’ve read, prior to finding this website, that the wire gauges people used ranged from 12AWG-18AWG, According to your chart, I should be using a 12AWG, which a lot of people say it’s overkill.The inquiry I get from other people is what is the new outlet going to be used for. I just say it’s going to be used the same as the other 2 factory installed use. e.g. phone charging, small fridge.The outlet covers say it’s a 12VDC 120W Max. I’m kinda rusty on my electronic principles but given P=VI > P=12 x 15 > 180W. confused. TIA for your quick reply.
- I have a customer who has a Chinese made track hoe. Tidy up find duplicate files 5 3 4. He needs a 65 amp fuse. I can’t find the actual fuse he needs. Will a 65 amp fuse cause a problem in a 60 amp fuse holder with 8 ga. wire? He has to use 65 amp fuse.
- So Im running a Fuse Relay Block that has 6 relays those 6 relays will power 6 different LED Light Bars for off road. I calculated all 6 of those Led’s Watts. lets say 1500 watts together. The Fuse Relay Holder has a Positive and Negative side. What Fuse do I use to from the BATTERY TO THE POSTIVE SIDE OF THE FUSE RELAY BLOCK? Thanks ??
- So I am trying to connect 2 x 55w lights on my car, would I add the two together and do the math that way? First time build so I am trying to make sure I don’t do any shortcuts. Any recommendations for wire size would be appreciated as well.
- Myriad 4 2 1 – audio batch processor download. So im going to fit 4 x 3.6w halo led lights on my car. Can you recommend what size wire and fuse please
- I want to run 2 x 400w LED lights. What size of wire and fuse should I use please?
- Ive just had an electritian use 12 gauge wire on a 12v set up on a RV im building. I have calculated the amps for the fuses so thats all o (i think) but is the 12 guage wire a problem. Thanks
- 12 volt
Eighteen LED lights, .5 watts each, 24 AWG, plus two additional led lights .5 watts 22 AWG
Using two flasher relays, half the lights on each for a sign.
A rocker switch for each half (10 led lights, plus flasher)
At times only one side will be lit, other times both at once.
Can use a single 1 amp fuse?
Can 18AWG wire be used to run them in series?
Thanks
