A 100A fuse will blow just beyond 100A whether it's at 12V or

Thank God. I ve been waiting three years for someone to answer..


Why do people like you get so upset about dates?

'cause it shows ignorance of the platform they are using to access
USENET.

And in this case part of the late answer is wrong. Unless "just
beyoud 100A" has been redefined to mean 2 or 3 times the 100A rated
capacity and even then it'll take a while to blow (seconds to
minutes).

Yup, the curve for normal incomer fuses is shown he

A 100A one will carry 150A for a *long* time. Even 630A will take 5 secs
to blow it.
