I tried to search for the conversation about installing a fuse in the alternator/generator wire with no luck so starting a new thread.

I have installed a 6V alternator after a generator failure (pending rebuild) and in the process read about some installing a fuse between the Alt/Gen and the junction box on the firewall. I have the safety fuse mounted on the starter but the conversation was about the Alt continuing to feed power even after the safety fuse opened.

Thoughts? Experience?

THANKS IN ADVANCE...
