Are all ANL fuses the same size?
ANL fuses are larger and range from 100 to 300 amps while AFS fuses are smaller ranging from 40 to 125. Remember that ANL fuses have the highest capacity of any fuse type so these are ideal for high wattage systems.
What does ANL mean on a fuse?
ANL Circuit Fuses ANL fuses are used for general cable protection, providing a ‘medium blow’ (around 1 second) protection. These ANL fuses all feature fixing holes suitable for 5/16″ studs and range from 50 amps to 500 amps. Fuse holders designed for ANL fuses are also available.
Are ANL and mega fuses the same?
ANL fuses have a slightly larger interrupt capability than MEGA fuses, being in the range of 2.5 – 3kA. So these are also not recommended for use on large battery banks. The Class-T fuses are compatible with any DC system up to 125V.
What is the difference between AMG and ANL fuses?
ANL fuses have a higher AIC rating – 6000 amps. AMG fuses only have a 2000 amp AIC rating. That is the largest difference. It relates to battery bank size and the unique ability of a fuse with a low AIC rating to keep the circuit closed after blowing – in effect welding shut.
What size fuse do I need?
The simple calculation is watts divided by volts equals amps. After you have calculated this, it is a simple case of adding around 10% to the value and choosing the nearest fuse to match. This is a more precise method then just guessing should you require a 3, 5, or even 13 amp fuse.
Are ANL fuses good?
SEA, Maxi, ATO ,AGC, and ANL fuses are good choices for short circuit protection. However, if a load can increase into a sustained overload condition, approximately 110-150% of the wire rating, the wires and the protective device in the circuit may heat up.

What is an ANL fuse holder?
ANL fuse holders are designed for the protection of high power circuits such as main battery feeds, amplifiers, inverters, and more. ANL fuse holders use high power ANL fuses with current ratings ranging from 80 amps up to 300 amps. Available in single and dual fuse configurations.
What is mega fuse?
A MEGA® fuse is a bolt-down fuse designed for use on high current or heavy-gauge applications. Examples include battery or alternator protection for when a MEGA® fuse would come in handy. MEGA® fuses are available in a higher amp range versus standard fuses, making them the go-to for high-amp protection.

What fuse should I use for my amp?
If your amplifier has an internal fuse, your inline car amp fuse should be a bit larger. For example, use a 25- or 30-amp inline fuse if your amp has an internal 20-amp fuse. If you have two amps with internal fuses, add the amperage ratings together to figure out the right size for your inline fuse.
