What does maxi fuse mean?

Maxi Fuses are fast-acting blade fuses and are standard for vehicle circuit protection. This is why you will find them in many cars, trucks, boats, and more. They are designed to provide a predictable time delay and low heat dissipation. They are color-coded to make identification of fuse ratings simpler.

What are Maxi fuses used for?

Maxi fuses are larger than ATO/ATC fuses and offer protection for high amperage vehicle circuits. They are a blade-type fuse designed to replace fusible links or fusible wire. The fuse link is completely enclosed to help protect against moisture and other corrosive or damaging elements.

What is the difference between mini and maxi fuses?

For example, a clear-colored MINI fuse signifies 25A, while clear in a MAXI fuse signifies 80A. Counterintuitively, amp rating does not necessarily correspond to fuse size. Regular-sized fuses start at . 5A and go all the way up to 40A, while Micro2 fuses range between 5A and 30A.

How do you check a mega fuse with a multimeter?

If you’re using a digital multimeter set to measure resistance, touch the probes together to get an initial reading. Then put the probes on either side of the fuse and check if the reading is similar. If it is, then the fuse works properly. If you get no reading or “OL”, then the fuse has blown.
