Fuses for Circuit Protection

Same price as Dorian's CS144. Same finish.
Any special finish desired?
 
1-Wire works great.
Instant turn on & turn off. Senses rotor rotation .
Transpo used. not others.
Read your link later.
Still at work.
 
What's in the T-bucket Rick ?
Amp meter ? Battery Volt meter? Classic Red Battery idiot light? Combo of 2?
 

At this time it's an Amp meter. It has heavy wires running to it, but probably
not heavy enough. So I might just disconnect it and check output with a DVM.

Later I would like to upgrade all gauges with a matched set.

Finish it just like Dorian's alternator.

I have everything on hand to build a few more CS144's like Doriens.
Out of Glyptal. Have to track down more.
Spray style. Look local.
I feel its a must have for longterm reliabilty.
Next week its supposed to warm up.
Got cold here. 50's daytime. 40's-30's at night.
Too cold to spray. Wife kill me if I spray in house.
Fumes real bad.
 

An extra week won't make any difference now, after two years that I've been working on this car.
 
That's the Pulley Rick.
PM sent.
Chatting with Rich last night again in late evening hours.
We have Fun.
 

Brian,

The pulley is on it's way. The Fedex estimated delivery is Tuesday (11/19). It left Grove City OH at 8:19 am this morning headed your direction.

 

Ran across this great info on the American Autowire website.

A fuse is a device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit. The melting of the element occurs when the electrical current exceeds a specified level for a specified time. This action is irreversible and the fuse must be replaced after the circuit malfunction is repaired.

A fuse is a temperature-sensitive device. This means that changes in ambient temperature, external heat sources (such as other fuses) and external heat sinks (such as conducting wires) affect the fuse.

Fuse ratings are based on an ambient temperature of 77°F. Higher ambient temperatures will lower the effective fuse rating, and the fuse will open quicker for a given overload current.


Autofuse (ATO) & Minifuse

Maxifuse
Unlike previous high current circuit protection devices (e.g.: fusible links) the Maxifuse was designed to protect cables from both direct short circuits and resistive short circuits, without damaging the device itself. This is due to the higher temperature insulating materials used to house the Maxifuse element and the element design. Compared to Minifuse, Maxifuse opening times are longer.

Megafuse
The Megafuse is designed for high current protection of the battery/alternator system. It has a bolt-down design to facilitate easy installation and replacement. Similar to the Maxifuse, the Megafuse is engineered with time delayed characteristics to allow for high in-rush currents.
