[Guest]

hi to all if I wire my rectifier to battery I will need a in line fuse holder what gauge of wire and what amp of fuse do I need and is it easy to fix

14 ga wire and 20 amp for that configuration.

But,but,but you didn't mention that that ain't the best way!

Pos,
I know you're the electrical "go-to" guy on this site, but where do your sources conceive this combination of wire sizes and fuse size?

I'm a California licensed electrician, and have been for many years. My "good book" the NEC or National Electric Code limits #14 wire to 15 amps and #12 can safely be fused at 20 amps?

I'm sure those guidelines are based on the same principle (ie ohm's law) but those guidelines are very much subject to area of application. Voltage drops vary with length of wire, current, and wire cross section.

While what the OP asked about is not ideal, it will work. His wording of his question made it appear as if he knew what he wanted although he could not figure fuse and wire size ( go figure).
The 20 amp fuse is a known minimum. Sometimes it is 25 amps in this configuration.

14 gauge is fine; household wiring is a different animal. machinery internal wiring often uses 14g to carry 25 amp loads
