![]() Automotive fuses are fine as long as the holder is designed for marine applications due to moisture probabilities. That said, it is best to use fusing designed for your application. ![]() You can use a 600 volt rated fuse on a 12 volt circuit with no ill effects except maybe to your wallet. The voltage doesn't matter as long as the fuse is rated for higher voltage than your use. For most wires one can consider 10 A for 16 AWG, 15 A for 14 AWG, 20 A for 12 AWG, 30 A for 10 AWG, etc. The maximum size is determined by the wire size. In the boating world we're usually talking 12 VDC so we can divide the wattage by 12 to get amperage to select the minimum size fuse. Wattage can be used to calculate the amperage but has no affect on the fuse other than for the calculations. Fusing is a trade in itself but manufacturers are usually very knowledgeable and are very helpful when asked. Then there are all kinds of fuses, slow blow ones for devices that need protection and have starting surges and semi-conductor fuses that will blow at the rating in 1/4 cycle AC. An example is a 10 amp fuse can carry 50 amps for a few seconds. One has to be able to carefully control the current in order to perform such tests. Tests are a one time event but it is amazing how much current a fuse can carry for a short time. ![]() Where I worked before retiring we once tested fuses to determine characteristics and verify the manufacturer's claims. The only exception is for the starter which is not fused. You could put a smaller fuse in for the device but never greater than for the wire size. The fuse should be as close to the source as practical. This quality socket will accept plugs from fridges, solar panel adaptors and many common low voltage appliances with the standard cigarette style / DC accessories plug.Always fuse for the wire.
