I just installed my train horn kit model 540 and it came with two 35 fuses and i blew them out due to the wiring :mad:… I can’t find a place anywhere that sales a size 35 fuse i was wondering if i would put a 30 would it be fine to power a 400 c compressor? or do i really have to have a 35?

pep boys sell them… radio shack sells them… car audio place sells them. usually look for car audio fuses… u can find up to 60amp prolly… i use 80 amps for my compressors
Use a 35 amp on the 400c, due to potential spikes in the amp draw. Any local auto parts store sells fuses.
The compressor pulls about 26 amps through normal operation, but it’ll pull a little more on restart unless you use a capacitor. You might be able to get away with a 30, but if you can’t find a 35 I’d say just grab a 40. The wire and other components are rated to 40 amps so in all reality you’ll be fine.
