I'm believing that someone here can answer this for me. Why do they make those blade fuses in 3 different sizes? The trailer wire for the stop light got smashed against the hitch frame and shorted the fuse on my 2000 Chevy C2500 pickup. The fuse that shorted was a 30 amp maxi fuse. I'm just wondering why they put 30 amp fuses in the truck that are 3 sizes-maxi, regular and mini. I am thinking if it takes 31 amps to melt the fuse material, what difference does it make whether it is a maxi, regular or mini. I understand the need for 40 amp and higher in the maxi configuration and the mini to conserve space. I just don't understand a need for a 30 amp in all three sizes. Thank you in advance for your opinions.
