I just wired up these driving lights. I used a relay. Do I need to install an inline fuze? If so should it be between the battery and the relay? Or between the relay and the lights?

The fuse should be within 18" of the battery for safety.

QUOTE(kg6dxn @ Aug 31 2012, 09:39 PM)  The fuse should be within 18" of the battery for safety. I agree. The closer to the power source the better. Tom has done a lot of thinking about upgrading of fusing. Came up with a pretty slick design if you really want to get into protecting your electrical system. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=141317 |
