Wire for blade fuse block

 Order the wire for the Blue Seas fuse block and fuse block fuse.
bluesea.com/    360 738 8230
Kinda over built it but whats new.

 This is a estimate with all devices running at the same time - not likely but that is the way it is done. Also with all using 5 amps - not likely ether

Ordered at genuinedealz.com


Cable calc http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Store/Tab.aspx?tabid=2


There is a beta DC circuit wizard at Blue Seas under tool also.

Built with 4awg wire 

14 4 feet with 3/8 to #10 black

11 feet 3/8 to 5/16 red to 80 amp fuse 

6” 5/16 to #10 from 80 amp fuse to fuse block

32 estimated feet over all that includes the runs from the buses to the batteries etc.

4.6 voltage drop

 Thats close as a 10 percent drop is OK for non critical items
3 percent for critical circuits.


Typically you fuse the wire at 80 percent of max load.

80 amp fuse to fuse panel
Estimated usage of 36 amps total all running at the same time or 5 amps per fuse - more than will need

Devices such as:
Bilge alarm - 1 amp fuse
Propane detector – 1 amp fuse uses less than an amp
