Detailed Description
Fuse; MEGA; 100 Amp; Littelfuse patented fuse designed for high current protection found on many OE vehicles. Slo-Blo feature eliminates nuisance blowing during temporary, short duration overloads. Commonly used for battery and alternator connections and other heavy gauge cables requiring ultra high current protection.
A fuse is a safety valve. It is designed to stop current from exceeding the rating of the attached wire or components. Without fuses, excessive current could cause damage to electrical systems and even result in fires. In general, a fuse has a simple construction. The key component is the "element" or "fuse link." This is a short piece of metal wire or strap. The element is designed to melt at a certain temperature to protect wires and equipment from overcurrents. An overcurrent is any current that exceeds the amperage rating or wiring capacity under normal conditions. Once a fuse is blown, it can be replaced to allow the current to flow again. But simply replacing the fuse may not be the solution to the problem. In fact, there is a chance the fuse will blow again because the fuse is actually signaling a larger problem within the circuit. Understanding the factors that cause a fuse to blow will help diagnose automotive electrical problems.
