[K3] K3 Fuses

[mikerodgerske5gbc]

Might I suggest if you are going to use fuses, invest in the oversize car stereo type. Some are gold plated,available in cartridge and blade type.
I believe the blade type are available at wal mart. A bigger contact area should have less resistance. Remember if you fuse the negative that will double resistance and usually only called for in mobile use.
I would also suspect the power poles and wish they weren't used but many love em.

While on the subject of fuses, what do you think would be a appropriate size for fusing both positive and negative leads for a K3/100?  25amp?  40amp?

Well the same current should flow in both positive and negative leads, so I
would go for 25A.

I'm using Motorola 30A in both legs, with the Micor/Syntor style
inline fuse holders.
