Re: Fuses

Per R55, your choices are 20 Amp fuse or 20 Amp snap-action circuit breaker.

Quote:
If the compressor is used, the air compressor Spike relay power feed must be protected with a 20A fuse or 20A circuit breaker. No other electrical load can be connected to this breaker.
I recommend the circuit breaker, which won't usually trip from the current spike during compressor startup. The fuse can really ruin your match if it burns out.
