#3: Author: theblitz, Location: South TrinidadPosted: Thu Jun 18, 2009 6:47 pm yes you still are strongly advised to use a fuse capable of passing the max current of everything powered off that cable w/o going much over. This fuse is a safety measure against the event that a short circuit occurs. Many vehicular fires are caused by improper electrical wiring and fusing.
And know the capabilities of your cables... do not attempt to do something like use a 200A fuse on a 4AWG line
