Can I plug this into a 15 amp fuse location and then plug in the original 15 amp fuse and the new 10 amp fuse? Would that be safe?

You can use it on any of the original fuse positions safely. The added circuit is only fused to 5 amps, not sure what the rating is on the wire, but 10 would probably be acceptable. Really the limiting factor here would be the capacity of the wire outgoing from the add a circuit.

You still should be able to use this, just put it into a 15A outley and then a 15A fuse in the holder. I used it to power a lighter I installed. I put the fuse adapter in a 15A fuse spot, ran the wire then inserted the fuse. It worked fine. Just make sure you have the right type of fuse tap.

yes you can. i just added an inline fuse. checkunit amperage to choose fuse size.

Yes. Just use the appropriate size fuse for each circuit depending on what you have hooked up.

I am curious about this too. Has anybody used this successfully in a vehicle with 10 amp fuses?

The wiring is unusually high gauge. I wouldn't run it above 15A which is more than enough for almost ALL 12V plug in items.

Yes, it is only a 15 amp fuse. The amplifier does not produce 45W RMS, it takes the feed from your factory stereo and increases it to 45W. Its closer to a 25W RMS x 4 amp. With that said, I put one in my truck and one in my Jeep and I love them.

I would suggest something mid range like 15 amps but definitely nothing higher than what was on the unit. The reason you blew the fuse was you put to high a load on it. By putting a higher rated fuse, your risking a fire.

You are OK as long as you don't exceed 15 amps. Why don't you do the math using ohms law and save yourself all the effort of plugging and unplugging? Each item will have a decal that defines the power it requires to operate. http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms_law_calculator.php

Personally, I would go lower but not higher. the purpose of the fuse is to protect the Inverter. Mine specified 80Amps, so I would not have gone higher than that (warranty), but you could go lower, say 60Amp. The unit I bought came with an 80Amp and a 60Amp fuse. I used the 80Amp and saved the 60Amp as a spare.

Mine did not come with a fuse. Any automotive type fuse will work in the holder. Just be sure not to put a larger capacity fuse in the holder than the wire is rated for. Depending on length of wire run, I believe 10AWG should handle a 30amp fuse with no problem...

15 amp should work fine. Did you wire these together into one plug, or put separate plugs on each light cord? If you wired them together, they may be connected wrong. Best bet would be to put a plug on each light cord and use an outlet strip. You will have added protection with an outlet strip with a breaker on it also.

2.1 Amps max output at 5 Volts = 10.5 Watts = 0.875 Amps at 12 Volts so a 1 amp fuse would work just fine.

Myrle - I don't see why not; The only question is how many amps the pump draws. The standard Deltek pigtail that connects to the battery and thisplug has an integral standard 10 amp fuse block, but it could be easily replaced with a 15 or 20 if you needed to.

Ok here you go it uses 10.5 amps you can use a 12 amp fuse if you can get it or 15 amp fuse ( check you wire size)

I would go with a 15. 10 blows too often, 20 really isn't safe enough. Try and use a "slow blow" or "slow burn" fuse since anything amplified will power spike.

You must use the same fuse rated for that slot, (10,15,20) the second slot use a lower Amperage (5, 7.5). Put it like this, I have a Bel STi-R plus, 2 escort lives connected, and ALP dual, on three sets of 10A and 5A. They are all running at optimal power. Remember, the slot where the blades are is the spot with the fuse you pulled from your panel. The second slot acts as a safety for your devices that your tapping. Don't go crazy with that slot because if a surge happens you can fry your things. Like I stated above 5 or 7.5 is sufficient enough, even with all of my things, I never went over 5A.
