Ensure reliable circuit protection by installing in-line fuses close to the positive lead of your power supply to prevent short circuits. Select a fuse with a voltage rating higher than your system's voltage, and ensure the current rating is 1.25 times your system's maximum draw for optimal safety. Consider using "slow-blow" fuses to handle quick current surges while maintaining safety during prolonged high current situations. These guidelines are crucial for effective protection against electrical faults.

Fusing • In line fuses placed as close to the positive lead of the power supply must be present to prevent short circuiting • The voltage must be higher than the voltage of your system, and can be as high as you wish • The current rating must be chosen carefully, the standard is 1.25 times the maximum current your system will draw • “Slow blow” fuses are recommended to accommodate quick surges in the circuit, but still provide safety if the high current persists
