Expensive little suckers, aren't they? Having looked at fuses and circuit breakers in the EV range, I've decided on constructing a fusible link. Go two sizes smaller than your main conductor, put a lug on one end to attach to the battery, and do a soldered butt-splice to your main conductor, covered with a few layers of heat shrink -- a fuse for 1/100th the price! I decided on this approach because my batteries will be in three strings, and you need protection for each string, lest the main conductor connecting your strings together gets shorted in an accident or something. I did not want to pay for three high-current fuses and holders. :::: He was a very inferior farmer when he first began, and he is now fast rising from affluence to poverty. -- Mark Twain :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
