Voltage Drop with Different Fuses

[OTRwSolar]

Was checking voltage drop using different 200a fuses with a 175a load. Cheap, generic ANL (with the cheap gold metal plating): .107v. Blue Sea ANL: .075v. Blue Sea MEGA/AMG .062v. The Generic would get very hot to the touch after only a few min. The Blue Sea MEGA/AMG ran noticeably cooler than the Blue Sea ANL even though there was only a .013v difference.

Reasonably priced Blue Sea MEGA/AMG fuses are easy to find. The Blue Sea ANL's are sometimes harder to find (rating dependent) and typically double/triple the cost.
