What type of wiring/fuses for relay?

Now that I grasp the relay concept, I would like to know what types of fuses(glass/blade/etc) and what gauge wire do you use when wiring relays and switches(for both a single switch/relay and multiple relays/switches). I would also like to know the method you use to wire a fuse into the + wire. Thanks in advance.

well you can use any wire. (stranded). now you just have to estimate the draw you will be putting through that relay to determine your best bet on guage wire. the most i have used on a normal 30-40 amp relay was like 12 guage. and that was for high power piaa fog lights with a 30 amp fuse,. now as for fusing goes get a normal fuse holder for blade fuses. and use that. and you dont have to have the fuse connected to the relay it can be in chain from power source to wire to relay. but advice! fuse should be as closes to power source as possible that main reason for using fuses.

mecp certification is not always needed. I have it and it has not helped me out at all. my experience out shines it.

Thanks for the quick reply! I want to make sure I do it right. I am looking to make a "box" to control multiple accessories. I am wanting to have a "master" switch, and a couple of switches to control each accessory separate if I wanted to.
