Which fuse should I use?

[far]

Just got myself a portable digital TV car set top box, I noticed on the power supply there is no fuse and I am confused as to what fuse I should use on this before I connect it to the car battery, the power is 12v / 6w any ideas guys?

For DC

Current = power/ voltage = 6/12 = 0.5 Amps

A 3 Amp fuse should be okay , it's probably got a fuse inside the unit too.

Are you sure it's just 6 Watts?

thanks for this dood - I'm pretty sure it is, can you check - I have scanned the page from the user manual

6 Watts it is. :)

while I've got the use of your brain dude :D can you also check what fuse I need to put on the amplified aerial as again it didnt come with anything, table attached

I would connect them both to the same 3Amp fuse, they're drawing very little current.

cheers dude you da man!
