Inline Fuse size for Coil Relay Mod??

[Guest]

I may have missed this in BassCliff's literature on the topic, but what size inline fuse are you using for your Coil Relay Mods???

I currently have a nice heavy duty inline blade fuse holder installed, but not sure what size fuse to use in it for this application. Currently have a 30A in there...

The mod SURE does make the ignition feel great, however!!

10A should be fine.

Hi Darin,

The fuse size should be based on the SMALLEST size wire (largest gage number) in the circuit, as it's there to protect the wire from being overloaded.

Here is a handy table I found online:


Source.

For example, with the 30A fuse you have now if you are using anything less than 10 gauge wire, the wire will melt before the fuse is blown.

The guide recommends using 12 gauge wiring so that would take a 15A fuse.

Scaylabs is correct, but since Suzuki put a 10A fuse in for the ignition I'd assume all the wires were correctly sized for that. Everything you put in should be larger.

Yup... larger and better quality... Thanks guys...

Everything except the fuse, of course. No need to put in a larger (capacity) fuse.

What Steve said...

Fuse will be 10A... Was referring to the wires/contacts, etc... I even went through and soldered most of the contacts that I could get to onto the wires...
