Amp Gauge Blow Up

[Mongoose930]

Blue Sea makes excellent Fuse Products and I used them exclusively to wire my Contemporary Cobra and will be using their products on my Hi-Tech Cobra:

They have an AMI fuse box that goes from 30A to 200A and Maxi Fuse holders up to 80A.

I don't think you would be disappointed with any of their products - very high quality.

... or just change out the auto-reset circuit breaker for a manual-reset circuit breaker. I should of thought of that in the first place. Even ol' Rick might agree with me on that. Maybe not, though... he's a toughie.

Blue Sea also makes ANL fuse holders, which also work with fast blow ANN fuses

Since I'm mounting this in the engine bay, a breaker isn't suitable for the heat and vibration. These also look appropriate for a Cobra and accept up to 2/0 wire.

Cooper has an amp-temp chart for their automotive circuit breakers, you just adjust the rating for the under-hood temperatures. Vibration is the same as anywhere else on the car. ERAs have had their circuit breakers mounted on the engine side of the firewall for almost 30 years now without any problems, but I do think a manual-reset is better than an auto-reset.
