| Which fuse to use? | N8FNR | on 12/9/12 |
| I recently bought a switching gasafet ARR preamp for 70cm to use with a Arrow dual band handheld antenna to hear the downlink from the FM satellites. http://www.advancedreceiver.com/page7.html The preamp draws 100ma at 12v and the wire I am using is 16 gauge and about 1 meter long. I would like to fuse the positive line because I really want to protect the preamp and wonder what is the ideal fuse rating I should use? BTW I went to Radio Shack today and the smallest rated fuse they had was a quick blow 1/4 amp for 250v. Would it be ideal to use a blade type car fuse rated for 1 amp for my application as that seems the lowest rated commonly available one? Any suggestions on this will be greatly appreciated.
