power distribution
Wednesday, January 04, 2006 11:22 PM
I need to split the wire coming from my batery into two twelve gauge wires. I was thinking about running an 8 gauge wire from my battery with a 40 amp fuse and splitting it into the two twelve gauge wires with 20 amp fuses. Will this work? Are there any rules to go by?

yes your idea will work, go get a fused distribution block to split it. you should fuse your power wires anytime you split them.
