Fusing a relay
Hi all, I'm starting the wiring diagram for my rail buggy and I have a question. Each circuit will be on its own relay. I obviously want to fuse the high current wire but wonder if there is an advantage to fusing before or after the relay? This will be a total custom wiring job so I'm not concerned with packaging or routing issues.

Re: Fusing a relay
This diagram shows the proper uses for a fuse. You can add fuses, but then you have needless connections that can corrode and or cause problems. Fuse the power to the relay and that is all you really need. Keep it simple.fl_buggy wrote:Hi all, I'm starting the wiring diagram for my rail buggy and I have a question.

Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.
