Trailhunter Powered Aux Circuit Question

[DeadSetMonkey]

As I plan the use of my Aux curcuits. I want to be mindful of amp needs of potential aux circuit accessories.
Can any Aux circuit have any fuse?
Looks like they have 5A, 10A, and 15A from the factory.
Is Aux3 max amps 5, for some reason, or could I put a 15A fuse in the Aux3 circuit?

You definitely could do this. Just make note that the wire gauge differs on all three.

Gotcha. But is wire gauge the rate limiter, AMP-wise? i.e. if I stick a 15amp load on the Aux 3 circuit, will the aux 3 circuit melt, cause the wire is only rated to 5amp?

If the fuse rating exceeds the wire rating, then yes it will fry the wire.
