Fusing slightly above recommended?


Recommended Posts

Alright so I know how this usually goes, "if you have to ask don't do it" but I have a fused distribution block from sky high (1/0 to dual 4 gauge) and I have my two amps ( saz1200d and sae 50.4) I have a fuse for my 1200d but the lowest I can find in ANL around me, and from distributors I trust, is a 60 amp but the sae 50.4 recommends a 50 amp fuse. Would it be okay to run a 60 amp even though that's 10 amps higher than what the amp is supposed to have? If it's not I'm sure I'll just have to either find a fuse block that does MANL fuses or run two seperate fuse blocks. Thanks! Greg

The fuse at the distribution block is to protect the wire going to the amp. If you want to protect the amp then put a fuse block at the amp. If the amp has on board fuses then a fuse block is not needed.
