New Addition to FAQ

Recommended Posts

"The ATO style fuses in the SAE-1000D are designed to handle roughly 130% of rated current for 10 minutes per the spec sheet for around 98 amps of handling, which at 14.4 volts is almost exactly 1000 watts at 75% efficiency.

Since this is not an SPL competition amp I decided to go with 3x 25 amp fuses. The prototypes had 3x 30 amp fuses and I found that they would not blow even at a 1/2 ohm load for extended periods. I went with 3x 25 amp fuses to give a warning to inexperienced users when they wire the amp too low."

Item Number 4.

I was seeing the question about fusing on several forums so thought it was time for an addition to the FAQ.

Disregard this addition. To avoid the inevitable confusion I had them switched back to 30 amps x 3 fuses at the last moment. SO... hopefully that will lay to rest the grumbling about the "fuse math."
