12awg will handle about 20 amps, so 10awg should handle 25-30 amps. Keep in mind that length plays a role in wire size selection. In house wiring, a wire run of 50 ft will work for 15 amps at 14awg, but increase the length to 100ft and you should use 12awg to carry 15 amps correctly.
my 75 318 is 35 amp.
A 10 Gage wire will carry 30 amps. But if you are talking 10 Gage fusible link wire then that's different, a fusible link wire is a delayed fuse & will melt if over loaded. The general rule of thumb in the automotive trade is use a fusible link wire 2 Gage smaller then the load wire. If you are using a 10 Gage wire then you should protect the circuit with 14 Gage fusible link. I hope this helps!
There should be a fusible link on the lead to the starter and possibly one coming from the alternator, if you think you've burned a fusible link you've most likely actually blown the main 150 (?) amp maxi-fuse under the battery tray though.
What do you mean by "by pass the factory Amp???" Surely you dont mean by pass the amp. gauge?? What would be the benefit to doing this....If you mean to by pass the high amp. fusible link under the hood....that is a no no. You can replace it with the proper amp rating fusible link but "NEVER" by pass this as it can cause an under hood fire. This is put in place to protec any over surge to and from the alternator, if over loaded it blows out causing an open circuit to that particular electrical wire harness, which in turn will stop the alternator from charging, consult a qualified tech to check this for you. Good Luck, Jay
It is a 30 Amp fusible link in fusebox under the hood.
there are several fusible links in the luggage compartment fuse block. the plastic ones at the top are rated at 30, 40, and 120 amp. they have a clear top so you can see inside of them, the other main fusible link is just off the battery positive post. pull back the insulation and you will see a blue wire connecting to two white wires. the blue wire is the fusible link...
Need more Information. Where is this fusible link and what year and kind of car. Is it in gear. Is the a/c or defrost on? are the cars exterior lights on and working properly?
I think there could be two main causes for this. I'm guessing you are referring the 100 amp fusible link...looks like a regular fuse, only larger? Age is one cause. Also, you could have a short somewhere in your electrical system. Did you use jumper cables lately? If those are reversed while jumping someone else off, you can blow out that fusible link.
My repair manual ommited a schematic for the '90 Mirage, but most of the other models show a 40 amp fusible link supplying power to the headlamp circuit. A fusible link is usually a short, special piece of wire that is made to melt safely and prevent the rest of the wiring from melting and causing a fire. Fusible links are often located in the engine compartment.
That is 10 amp wire.
It is near, but not directly attached to the firewall on the drivers side. It's a 30 amp fuse in a little junction box near the master cylinder. ~greengina8
You need to instal the same size and amp rating as you removed.You need to instal the same size and amp rating as you removed.
