This doesnt really make sense to me because when your voltage goes up your current draw will decrease.Loki wrote:The only way a fuse will protect an appliance from over current is if you supply an overvoltage. I=V/R IE Voltage goes up, so current goes up. Can happen but rare.
If you use 50 amp on a 2.5mm2 cable it will fry the cable if if the appliance can handle it.
If you have a radio that draws 1.5 amps of current, you do not put in a 1.5 amp fuse. All you get is nuisance trips. You put in a 5 amp, or 10 amp fuse. Depending on the cable. If the cable is 1mm2 I would not be using a 10 Amp fuse.
All the fuse is suppose to do is protect the wiring not the appliance different gauge cable obviously has different current handling capability and you shouldnt over fuse what the circuit is designed for.
There is very rarely ever any thing in your average tinny that needs relays for all the appliances in the above i would not reccomend any no offence but this is what happens when 240volt sparkys trys to do auto electrics.
