If the main circuit uses a 20A fuse and my add on circuit uses a 10A fuse, would the product work okay for that application?

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.

It shouldn't be a problem. I did one connection from main 10A to the add 3A and haven't had any problem, the 3A is going to resist only 3A if the load goes over 3A the fuse will burn out before damage de device. If you go from 20A main to 10A add your device connected to the 10A add shouldn't consume more then 10A.

I use it as a step down for my stereo amphlier. It was made for the Japanese market. The fuse on the unit you are looking at is 5amp. That is all I'm qualified to say.

Yes, the existing fuse for the 12v outlet will go in the add a circuit along with the fuse for the new circuit.

Yes. Assuming the wire coming out of the 20amp fuse (or circuit) is sized for 20amps, you should be ok. 14AWG should be fine. I personally wouldn't risk it with a 16AWG.

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

Yes, you really should. It might not always run 30 amps continuously when it's on, but if you have anything else on it, you really risk tripping the breaker. (Obviously, 20A or lower breakers would not do at all.)

Instruction sheet says lighter fuse should be 15A, minimum; not sure how this correlates with the 10A spec in the first line item.

im using a 80 amp gold fuse seems to be working good now for my 1000 watt amp powering two 12" speakers but i think u can go lower to mabey even 20 amp idk

Of course all the ATC style fuses are the same size from the 1 amp all the way to the 40 amp fuse. There is no rating on any of the 10 slots

The unit is well built. I'm running it as 30A per fuse with no troubles. If it were total that would be less than 5a per fuse which is pretty useless.

yes mine is on a 20 amp breaker in the house with a line ran to garage with a 20 amp screw in fuse n i have no problems

I personly ran two 10 guage wires based on what I was connecting. it is rated for up to 100 amps on a standard 20' foot run of wire from the batteries to the fuse block You could go a single number 8 or even a number 6 cable run. there is a stud terminal connection so you can fit just about anything on it with a ring connector on the end.Good luck.

Yea, I would assume. I used it to protect a PID controller. Standard outlets are 15a at 110/120v and you pick the fuse to go in it. 1a to 15a fuses... work fine for me

These are standard car fuses and the amp ratings are for 12 volt DC circuits. To use for other voltages would require a calculation to determine the amp rating of each fuse. You know the formula is: watts are equal to amps times volts. So a 120 watt load at 12 volts is the max for a 10 amp fuse. Now that same fuse in a 24 volt system with a 120 watt load would max out at 5 amps.

I don't see why not. You just put the 15 Amp fuse in place of a 10 Amp one. Just make sure you're not overloading the circuit as the wiring is probably designed for certain combined amperage

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.

Sure! As long as the total amperage drawn by the lights does not exceed 30 amps, which is what the fuse is rated at. Hope this helps!
