Re: Help! Fusible link melting conduit!

A 140 amp fuse will not provide any of the intended protection for your electrical devices. Each device should have its own properly rated fuse between itself and the power supply. It should also be noted that a charging system or battery only provides amperage that is being drawn by a device. If too much amperage is flowing through a device, it is because that device is faulty and it is drawing extra amperage to operate. Alternators and batteries do not force excessive amperage into devices, or anywhere else that isn't drawing it.
