 |

Bob
Is it advisable to substitute a MaxiFuse for the ANL
Alternator Fuse? The MaxiFuse can be wired in-line with the
alternator wire such that it's clamped along with the
alternator 8AWG wire as it routes along the engine mount-
versus mounting the ANL fuse holder on the firewall which is
not as desirable. Is it possible to size the MaxiFuse
to provide the same level of nuisance tripping immunity, and
8AWG alternator wire protection, as the ANL fuse
would? I'm using the 40A B&C alternator.

Absolutely. Of course, the ANL current limiters
are exceedingly robust. One NEVER nuisance trips
a current limiter. However, the lowly fuse like
the MAXI series can be sized to stay in place
on a 40A alternator. You'd want to de-rate about
25% based on the absolute max that a cold alternator
can produce. Let's call it 50A. So the MAX70
would do be optimal. But if that's hard
to find, a 60A or and 80A would be okay too
