This has no in-line fuse. Should I install one? How many amps?

What is the housing on the red lead? Didn't try to open it but it appears to be a fuse link.

None, we just had the cord extension plug in to the wall electrical outlet. If you are asking, if on the package, fuse is included, none!

It would sound like it might be overloaded but i can't tell without knowing how many watts you are putting in or pulling off the load terminals. Also wondering if you have the proper fuses installed in your system

The unit is 12 Volt, 2 Amp plug in. There is not an external fuse, maybe internal. If installed in a 12 Volt car, it would be prudent to install at least a 5 Amp fuse in line.

I built a harness with a relay and hooked it into a remote fuse block I installed, but with the small amount of amps these led's draw, you don't really need the relay, but I would fuse the circuit!Hope this helps you

I purchased a harnes with an inline fuse. But I don't think it would matter. I would run a fuse to be safe.

I used an 80amp blade fuse and holder sold for an automotive audio amplifier. I bought mine at Wal-Mart (It was under $20) as I needed it right away, but Amazon probably has it too. I cut the positive battery cable (with a hacksaw) and the fuse holder was installed in-line.

Yes. You just need to find an ANL fuse of the right voltage/current rating.

I'd suggest a circuit with a 20amp minimum. Preferably 25-30amp. Theses heaters draw a lot of power. (And no, its not a good idea to put a 25-30amp fuse in what was intended to be a 15amp circuit. The wiring is a smaller gauge and can't handle the current)

If you have any knowledge of wiring, it want be difficult. If it is your first time, I would ask someone with more experience to give you a hand. I would also suggest putting an in-line fuse on the wire, just to be safe.

Fuse does not have size, it is a glass fuse and the amperage should be approximately 1 amp. You can get a spare by taking to an auto supply store to get correct size, I am an electrical engineer, so the power calculation indicates a 1 amp fuse. Do not use this device on any heat loads.

mine came with one. i have had this a long while and have not needed a new fuse yet.

Use a 2 or 3 amp fuse. The LED current draw is negligible; the fuse will protect against a shorted wire.

You want to look for an "add a circuit" or "add a line" fuse for your fusebox & something that can conver that to USB power.

Tripplite's website shows that at full load it consumes 200 amps. If you plan on using it fully loaded, you may want a slightly larger fuse than 200, or use a circuit breaker. Fuse size also depends on the size and length of wiring you use to connect it to

NO. this does not draw enough amperage. Hooked mine up with a 20A switch with a 10A fuse. Works great.

Did you try replacing the fuse? It is underneath where the plug connects on the amp. Call BK customer support if that doesn't work. They are terrific.
