[Ray KSUSA3]

Can anybody list allowable fuse ratings for wire sizes between 20ga and 8ga?

Ray,

Good readin at the Blue Seas site that Tony gave you. I just wanted to point out that you don't pick fuses based on the wire size. You have to determine the load the circuit will carry, then size the wire and the fuse to the load.
