Hey,

Trying to understand why you would chose a midget fuse over a 5x20? They both have similar amperage ratings at the low end, the 5x20 fuses are cheaper and smaller. I do see the 5x20 do not go up to 480.

Is it just that midget fuses have better SCCR ratings or something? I just feel like I'm missing something here for power at 240 or bellow.



Thank you!
