Actually, the length of the wire doesn't matter when determining the
proper size fuse. It's not the resistance of the wire that's the issue, but rather the resistance per unit length (or, even more accurately, resistance per unit surface area). This is because ultimately we're dealing with heat dissipation as the factor governing what a wire can handle. Wait a sec MZ. The length of a given wire WOULD effect voltage, right? Longer runs cause larger losses of voltage. So, if you had a very long run and your voltage dropped considerably, wouldn't you need more amperage to maintain a given wattage (Ohm's law)? So, length of wire WOULD effect amperage. Is my reasoning flawed? MOSFET |
