There are multiple fuses in your car protecting various loads. Wire gauge depends on load. The gauge or wire for the battery might be 8 AWG to handle high cranking currents for starter motor. 14 AWG wire might be employed for loads requiring 15 amps or less and so forth.

What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
Where can you find a 10 amp 125 volt fuse at?
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
4 copper
What size wire is required for a 220 volt at 54 amps?
6 AWG
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
A fuse rated for 250 v is fine for 240 v. The fuse might be a cartridge fuse, so it must fit the available socket, or it might be fuse wire that has to be fitted in the holder correctly.
Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
