For the fuse in the plug, does anyone know how many amps the fuse is rated? If I buy this product, should I consider buying extra fuses?

I do not know amps fuse is rated for, but have had the product for several months and use it regularly; and have had absolutely no problems with the unit (fuses or otherwise).

I don't know the fuse size. But I have had something plugged into all four ports, and never had a problem. Fuse still good.

It comes with a 10 amp fuse, the only reason for the fuse is it is probably smaller than fuse on that circuit in your car, so if it gets shorted or overloaded it will blow first I put a 15 amp fuse in mine and it works fine I use it in my boat and use a spotlight while charging my cell phone

you should put a 10A fuse in series, a fast-acting type, not a slo-blow type. If you intend to measure 30A then you really need a different model which support 30A. Those require an external shunt resistor wired together with the meter, and this is part# is usually shown next to the product if it's not included already.

The seller doesn't specify the rating and there are no markings on the adapter.The unit I purchased came with a 5A fuse installed.The cord is approximately 4' long and constructed from 20AWG wire.At 3 amps the voltage loss would be around .25 volt through the adapter's wiring.This represents approx. 2% loss in voltage with 12 volts applied as its source.

the power plug has an internal 5amp fuse in it . probably just need to screw the end off the plug

I called their number looking up on internet and they were very friendly. They would tell you quickly. They did inform me it will not function with less than seven amps from your dc. I found a loose wire attachment in fuse area and the new one I updated(they suggest replacing every five years). Once I fixed they intermittent three amp reading by tightening even the old one worked again, but safety trumps cost.

It depends on the fuse you put in line - but there is already over 20 amps of draw. (Kind of pushing it already) probably better with 2

Ok here you go it uses 10.5 amps you can use a 12 amp fuse if you can get it or 15 amp fuse ( check you wire size)

being a master mechanic. I can only suspect without seeing the condition of the system but my experience Is up your fuses to 15 amp. if it blows these the problem is in the wiring not the bulbs. these are designed usually to draw much less than traditional filiment type.

Try doing a continuity test ...(check for current) with a volt meter on each section of wire , before and after the fuse holder , there may be a broken wire somewhere.

I put a fuse in line. I am running the KC fog lamps, and the KC spots on my Jeep. I'm running a 50" LED light bar on my Ram. I never run anything with out a fuse. They are not that expencive to buy. If something happens, you want that fuse to blow rather than run the risk of catching your vehicle on fire.

Your fuse panel is +12 volts. By piggybacking another circuit, you are tapping into a +12v feed. So "power side" is the answer.

I could be wrong but if you tap a 25A fuse then the wire on this unit may not be able to handle it. Plus, if you put 10A fuses in the Bussman then those fuses will blow constantly since your 25A fuse is letting higher amperage through.

I have a 1600 watt inverter connected, also with an inline fuse. It all works fine, my only concern is the cables get quite warm, but it has been connected for about a year now just fine. Makesure you use an inline fuse with proper watt fuse.

Hello,This item doe not include the fuse. Different customers may need different fuses for their specific application. This item works with ATC/ATO (knife) type fuses up to 30 amps. Sincerely,ChristinaParts Express Customer Service Team

60 amp fuse.. So at full volume it draws at least 30 to 60 amps.. I'm about to get a second one as it does bump for Da price

Check the polarity of the connections, also check the load,too much will blow the fuse. It's to protect the inverter.If all else fails call the manufacturer.
