Inline fuses......

k so i was just curious as to how much a 120 AMP fuse for my power wire would be.... so i was just looking around and i noticed i really dont know a thing about fuses! ... so i have right now a 100 AMP fuse (called a blade fuse i think) it looks like this one ...

all i found there was up to 80 AMP fuses ... and im lookin for over 100 AMP ... so ive been thinking that maybe its not as common to have my type of fuse holder and thats why i was thinking of changing.. my wiring kit did only come from walmart too.

i got the anl digital fuse holder for around 35 bucks, and the standard one for around 20. the 250 amp fuses were around 2.50 each.

na electronics are a wholesaler, i`m not sure if they ship to single customers.
i`ve been dealing with them direct from their office for a couple of years now and so far they have never turned me away.

you could also give smartass a try at www.smartass.bz.

Blade fuses are pretty common. My holder looks just like the one pictured above. I bought my 120 amp fuse at Best Buy.
