The appropriate fuse for an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size depends on the wire's current-carrying capacity, which varies based on the wire's gauge, insulation type, and installation conditions. For example, a 14 AWG wire typically has a maximum safe current rating of about 15 amps, so a 15-amp fuse would be suitable. It's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or manufacturer's guidelines for specific applications to ensure safety and compliance. Always prioritize using a fuse that matches the wire's capacity to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.

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
