...if it is to be meant as a main fuse, I would go with 30A breaker...online, try waytekwire or dell city or just goto your local auto parts store, who should have selection of such........

yes it is meant to be main fuse
some in here say it is easy to reset than replace fuse correct

...wellllll Norm, all I can say is, it is either push a button and go on...OR...hunt hi and lo for that stash of fuses you left RIGHT there...and are now missing!!!!!!!!

while you are on mad jack

help with this question ?

lets say you run current to your two porch lights
what size fuse should you run on that circuit?
im useing 12 gauge wire for every thing cause thats what i had
in here i read were 12 wire is good up to 20 amp but wire size from light is smaller maybe a 14 or 16
amperage is small for this circuit so
what size fuse should i run for those lights

...for the lights, if they are single bulb lights, probably 5A would be enough...if dual bulbs, goto a 7.5 or 10.............

Hey Norm,
Is this what you're looking for?

The small black button on the side(top in this picture) is the reset button.

NAPA or almost any Auto Parts store handles these.
