i understand the fuse onboard is 20 amps but what type is it?

It's an automotive-like fuse. You can see it on the picture, it's yellow, between the capacitor and the green connector.

I bought the 55 Amp converter so I'm pretty sure it was a 55 Amp fuse. I can't check, with out cleaning out my basement, because were my converter is placed in my RV, so i'm working off memory. I know for sure it isn't the 35 amp fuse. My old converter was a 40 amp fuse and I was thinking this one was higher or the same. Hope this is helpful.

Is the fuse in the amp? The converter should have an 8 amp fuse. Am I correct?

The size fuse depends on the load. Typical on a main line for a boat or rv is 50 amps. The fuse is on the hot side going to the converter. Hopefully your input side has a fuse if it is from a charger. If from a motor, ie generator/alternator, no additional one is typically neede.

I just looked at mine and it's 14 gauge. The jacket around the cables tell the gauge and both cables carry a 20 amp fuse.

It depends on the load - in other words it depends on what the switch is turning on and off. The switch is rated for 12 volts and 20 amps which is good for most lighting circuits and other small loads on a car. But some electrical loads on a car can exceed 20 amps - power windows, defrosters, fans, etc. so you should be careful to make sure the circuit will be limited to 20 amps. To get an idea of circuit loads for your car, take a look at the owners manual for the fuse diagram - the fuse diagram will list the current rating (20A means 20 amps) for that circuit - it's a good guide.

These are standard automotive type fuses. I bought them for use in my 5th wheel trailer converter, for the 12v circuits. Great price.

I used a 10 amp fuse and it worked very well. My amp meter never pulled more than 5.5 amps in any mode. Hope this info helps.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

Honestly im not sure. But i have a 10amp inline fuse fore it and it seems to work perfect. I use them everyday.

I went to look on the fuse to see if it had any numbers written on them. They have some numbers embossed on one of the ends. They are hard to read if you don't have enough light and hold them the right way. But the number reads F15AL 250V, for anyone who has the same question. (I am the same person that asked the question, but on a friend's account since I can't answer my own question.)

the printed spec for the fuse is "200 ma / 500v". this is the spec in the meter instructions for the fuse.hope this helps. buy the way, this is a fantastic meter "vom" for the price!

2.8A; use 5A fuse inline; Additional technical info can be found at http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/wwg/search.shtml?searchQuery=rule+20f&op;=search&N;tt=rule+20f&N;=0&GlobalSearch;=true&sst;=subset

You need a 15 amp and ,If this one blews try the 20 amp fuse. but the 15 amp is the right fuse for it.Eddie O. Murray, Piedmont,Alabama

I can tell you that they provide a 30 AMP fuse to protect the circuit. Hope that helps!

Mine has a 15 amp fuse, I have run this temporarily overloaded and shorted resulting in a blown fuse, with it surviving. I did however have one unit fail, after running it overloaded for too long, from excessive heat.

I Used the one that came with the jack which I had to solder in line. Very easy installation and it works great. I believe it is a30 amp fuse. The best part is no more cranking the jack when connecting the trailer.
