FW: Fuse Amperage??? for a fuse between the battery and the car.

[Richard J Lebens]

I looked at the Bussman web site.  From the Time-Current Classification
Curves?Average Melt a 125 amp fast acting fuze will pass 700 amps for
10 seconds, 1000 amps for a second and immediate rupture at 1500 amps.
It takes 300 seconds at 125 amps.  That will do a lot of good
protecting your interior/wiring.  I think I'd spend the $25 for the
fuze on better wire.
