Default Re: Fuse

There are different severitys of a short.. Some can just be a slow burn where others can be an all out fuse / circuit breaker blower..this can also effect whether it causes a drivability issue or not . Depending if your headlights were on or not may effect the situation also.. It's also possible maybe the offending wire was vibrating intermittently against the ground. Not all shorts are created equal..
I'd rather have a fuse then not have one, along with a batt cut off

An EVR electronic voltage regulator goes on or in the generator and controls output according to load.. Basically is an automatic 3rd brush... I use Tom W 's units in my generators...
