Fuse board fuses incorrect?

Post by smudger28 »

Hi guys

So I’ve been struggling with the fuse board of late (see other thread).

I checked the layout of my fuses that came with the original board and a I have a couple of discrepancies when you compare it to the CE1 layout.

Fuse #6 is 15A and is listed as 10A

Fuse #13 is 20A and is listed as 15A

Here is the boys old fuse board

I’m just a bit concerned about fitting the new one if some of the fuse ratings are incorrect.

Anyone else come across higher fuses?

Thanks.

#6 and #13 are two of the 6 that have clearly been replaced in the past, so could have been unadvisedly uprated. I would certainly be inclined to trust an alternative source.

Thanks Guys

I think I will down size the 2 fuses that are of a higher rating before I plumb the new fuse board in. Not sure I overly trust anything atm including myself 😳.
