CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES
MAXI-FUSE
Electrical circuits on this vehicle may be protected by fuses, fusible links, maxi-fuses, circuit
breakers, or a combination of these devices.

FUSE
Blade type fuses have a transparent plastic
housing. To check a fuse, pull it from the fuse
panel and look at the fuse element through the
housing. Always replace a blown fuse with a new
fuse that has the same ampere rating.
The ampere rating of a blade type fuse can
also be determined by following the color code
shown here:

Cartridge maxi-fuses have transparent plastic tops. To check a cartridge maxi-fuse, look at
the fuse element through the top of the housing.
To replace a cartridge maxi-fuse, pull it from
the fuse box or panel. Always replace a blown
cartridge maxi-fuse with a new one having the
same ampere rating.
The ampere rating of a cartridge maxi-fuse
can also be determined by following the color
code shown here:
Some circuits are protected by circuit breakers (abbreviated “c. b.” in fuse chart). They can
be Fuse Panel mounted or in-line. Like fuses,
they are rated in amperes.
Each circuit breaker conducts current through
an arm made of two types of metal bonded together (bimetal arm). If the arm starts to carry too
much current, it heats up. As one metal expands
faster than the other the arm bends, opening the
contacts. Current flow is broken. A circuit breaker
can be the cycling or non-cycling type.

In the cycling type, the bimetal arm cools and
straightens out. This cycle repeats as long as the
overcurrent exists and power is applied.

ARM
In the first type, there is a coil wrapped around
the bimetal arm. When an overcurrent exists and
the contacts open, a small current passes
through the coil. This current through the coil is
not enough to operate a load, but it does heat up
both the coil and the bimetal arm. This keeps the
arm in the open position until power is removed.
In the second type, a spring pushes the bimetal arm down and holds the contacts together.
When an overcurrent condition exists and the bimetal arm heats up, the bimetal arm bends
enough to overcome the spring and the contacts
snap open. The contacts stay open until the reset
button is pushed and the contacts snap together
again.

Two types of non-cycling circuit breakers are
used; one is reset by removing power from the
circuit, and the other is reset by depressing a reset button.
Mega fuse protects the charging circuit. In the
event that the mega fuse is blown due to the charging circuit failure, the generator field circuit is disabled.
