Guest grim83 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 Whats the equation for figuring up roughly an amps power capabilities based off the fuses
Guest Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 fuse rating amount X 10 = watts. you can get a tad more complicated than that but it ROUGHLY tells you how much power it can output
dugee81 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Posted October 15, 2010 amps * volts * efficiency 120 amps of fusing * 12.5 = 1500 watts add in efficiency, 1500 * .8O (guess) = 1200 thats just an example, you should be able to figure it out. 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm

Making me chuckle out loud, or COL, haha Anyway, I want to state that any power ratings figured by fusing is a very rough estimate of how much power and amp COULD make, not DOES make. Fusing is there to prevent too much current from flowing, so under normal operation the current being drawn does not reach the amp ratings, if it did, POOF!
