Whats the equation for figuring up roughly an amps power capabilities based off the fuses

Posted

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

Posted

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.

Dude, I always love your avatars. 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!

thanks, i do understand the point of fusing i just couldnt remember the equation for the rough estimate.
