Hello all!
I think I know the answer to my question but I just need confirmation that I understand correctly. Here is the scenereo: From a 10 amp switch cicuit breaker a line is run to a distribution post behind panel. This is Vans set up and in this case this scb and line is for the radios for this example. From that post my radio needs a 5amp inline fuse. I also will run a xpdr requiring a 3 amp inline fuse to same post. Question is, what happens if I attach a third line, say a 12v aux port and use 2 amp inline fuse. Is that going to be ok?
If I happen to plug in something that draws greater than 2 amps, will that just blow the 2amp inline fuse or will that trip the 10amp switch cb as well since all 3 circuits exceed 10 amps?
Thanks for input. Im trying to keep simple and as close to vans simplified plan though adding extras sem to complicate this greatly. Plus I confuse easily in this department.
Thanks again!!
