X.2515 - FUSE IN EXPL. LUCAS SWITCHBOX X.3957

The correct size of tin lead fuse wire for the main fuse in the above box is .041" (19 S.W.G.) With this size of fuse the full charging current of the Lucas E.575 dynamo is easily carried when the machine is in a cold condition. If the cutout sticks on the fuse will easily blow with the machine in a fully hot condition.
