How do I determine what amperage to use for an inline fuse?

you base it on the application, expected current draw, and the gauge of the power wire being used... like you would never hook up a 200 amp anl fuse to an 8 gauge power cable, which is rated to, what, 80 or 90 amps....

you get the idea, sit down and determine your applications needs, and go from there
