Hello
I am trying to find a way to make my own fuse out of a piece of wire.
Nominal work amperage is 60A and I want the fuse around 90A .
Can I achieve this with a piece of alluminium or copper wire?
All that I have ever learnt about is how much current you can safely conduct through a wire usually because of isolation reasons.
Can anybody shed some light ? How can I calculate at what amperage I wire will disconnect/melt/burn ?
Help appreciated in advance
Trusty
