I currently am running two amps, each with a 30A inline fuse, from a single battery. If use a distribution block and also a single inline fuse holder to support both amps, what should the amperage be of the fuse on the "new setup"?

Thanks.

Colin

Your main fuse at the battery should be 60 amps, the 2 fuses in the fused distribution block should each be 30 amps.
