What are the different sizes of fuses?

Sizes and Amperages Blade fuses (shown at right) come in six sizes, which are, from smallest to largest: Micro2®, Micro3®, Low Profile MINI®, MINI®, ATO®/ATC® (also called “regular”) and MAXI® or MAX.

What size fuse does my amp need?

If your amplifier has an internal fuse, your inline car amp fuse should be a bit larger. For example, use a 25- or 30-amp inline fuse if your amp has an internal 20-amp fuse. If you have two amps with internal fuses, add the amperage ratings together to figure out the right size for your inline fuse.

How many amps does a 1500 watt amplifier draw?

12.17 Amps
It’s 7.5 Amps. How to find amperage or amps from watts?…Watts To Amps At 120V (Standard Outlet)

Watts:	Amps (at 120V):
1300 Watts to amps at 120V:	10.83 Amps
1400 Watts to amps at 120V:	11.67 Amps
1500 Watts to amps at 120V:	12.17 Amps
1800 Watts to amps at 120V:	15.00 Amps

How do you select a fuse for a circuit?

Make sure to select a fuse that has a rated voltage higher than the voltage of the circuit. The rated voltage of a fuse is the maximum voltage at which the fuse can safely interrupt an abnormal current.

What size fuse should I use for a 1200 watt amp?

You should use at least a 100A fuse. The fuse at the batt. is to protect the power wire.

How many watts can a 30 amp fuse handle?

A 30-amp outlet supplies 3,600 watts (30 amps multiplied by 120 volts). Therefore, the breaker on that outlet could meet code and still trip anywhere between a total load of 2,880 watts (80 percent of 3,600 watts) and 4,320 watts (120 percent of 3,600 watts).

What does Max fuse size mean?

The overcurrent protection device marked on combination-load equipment is marked “maximum” such as “maximum fuse size.” This means that specified size cannot be exceeded. The device could be less than that maximum size.

What determines the breaker or fuse size installed in a circuit?

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.
