Knukonceptz fuses

[Jeffhulbert50]

Bought 6 knukonceptz 150 amp fuses, 3 for use, 2 as spares, one to test accuracy of rating.

Well first fuse was 385 amps initial then 280+ for over 10 sec till I stopped. Didn't pop

Decided to test the rest
Knukonceptz fuses don't blow - YouTube

I would not recommended the fuses

Interesting Todd blew these before the audio pipes blew they couldn't handle shit

Edit: I think they were the minis

these are the mini anl's

on the right, a fuse that seen 300+ amps but didn't pop, left is normal

But dude, isn't having them loose like that causing a ton of resistance?

the fuse is being shorted, the current flow is the only thing being tested. if it was really loose and making a horrible connection then 300 amps wouldn't be able to pass thru. BUT, 300+ did pass thru a 150 amp fuse and it didn't blow. so in a nut shell, loose = irrelevant in this test

But wouldn't there not be a solid enough connection to get to the actual piece of metal that is designed to pop? It seems like the ends are melting off because that is the only part of the fuse that is completing the circuit.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and if this sounds completely ridiculous than disregard everything I said, but nobody hooks up their fuses like that, lol.

the center piece, in the test, is still seeing 300+ amps which is the test. if you look in the picture with 2 fuses in my hand, that fuse was shorted with bolts holding the ends as if it was mounted. the only thing it did was melt a hole through the fuse blocks bolt

Maybe horrible QC testing? todds were blowing fast as shit this is indeed strange

they have no standards to follow thru on. one of the few companies that do have them is cooper bussman
