I picked one up yesterday from a local shop and plan on using it instead of a in-line fuse. I dont know much about them just the fact that I can reset it without buying a new fuse. Seems pretty cool to me, and I have not seen one until I bought it. I think this is the one that I have. http://www.stereoexperience.com/n5p200.html |

Gold Member Username: DuckaShelby Twp., MI United States Post Number: 1157 Registered: Jan-08 | I wasn't blowing fuses very often. It was just less expensive than a regular fuse. I just figured that I would try it. |

Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audible Insanity]- Post Number: 3120 Registered: Mar-07 | You should not be blowing fuses in the first place lol. I've had the same fuses for 3 years. A circuit breaker has ALOT of resistance. It is one of the worst things you can put inline with your power wire (the only worse thing you can put inline is the ground wire.) Also after they pop once, they start popping easier. Almost as if they get weaker. I'd keep a fuse bro. It will help your voltage in the long run. |

Silver Member Username: BoomtankRochester, NY USA Post Number: 621 Registered: Oct-06 | They do start popping earlier as they get used more. I had a 160A breaker in my engine bay and as it would get warm it would start popping at 100-120A. Stick with the fuses. |
