Fridge Wiring

[Cuppa]

I ended up speaking to the Bushman company over the phone. They said that the fridge itself has the protections needed built into it, so the fuse would be purely to protect the wiring - he recommended a 20A fuse. Apparently the maximum current draw from the Bushman is around 6A once the compressor kicks in, after that it is relatively low.

If the fridge itself has the necessary protection built in & the fuse is purely to protect the wiring, it makes no sense to have the fuse at the fridge end. Cannot see why a 20A fuse is recommended if max current draw is 6A. A 10A fuse or CB would me quite adequate.
