    It is a very mysterious and powerful device.

    I believe it's called a shunt. Small wires on each end connect to the amp gauge.

    Any idea what size fuse goes in the holders?
    The 2 wires both have fuses in them and I updated the round glass fuses to gm style fuses.
    I coulnt read the glass fuses because of corrosion.
    That's why I'm asking.

    That looks to be the size of the one that I have inline running to my generator/apu and it's 175 amp

    I relize that's a shunt
    There are 2 wires coming off that shunt that had round glass fuses in them and were all corroded I replaced them with new fuse holders and don't know what size fuse ?
    I can't read the glass ones
