What I hope is a simple question for the experts. I wish to place a serious fuse between vehicle battery and auxiliary battery in slide on camper. I have a "mega fuse" which is a couple of terminals with space to take a proprietary fuse between them. The question: The fuses are marked 100amp which seems about what I want, but they appear to be for a 32 Volt system. Does that mean they would be about 300amp fuse in a 12 volt system or doesn't the voltage matter?
Would appreciate advice, seems to me ignorance would not be bliss if I get this wrong.
Thanks Terry

Hi Terry
The 100 A fuse will be ok
Have you thought of a circuit breaker instead ?
No need to carry spare fuses, just reset.
Have a look at :

and search for Cat No: SF2266
I use them on my 4WD and we use them on our fire trucks.
Regards
Neil

Thanks for the help Neil.
I thought about circuit breakers but heard they could? fuse the points together in some circs, put me right off them - but they sure look simpler.
Thanks again, Terry
