Automotive fuse are used to protect the wiring and electrical equipment for vehicles. There are several different types of automotive fuses and their usage is dependent upon the specific application, voltage, and current demands of the electrical circuit. Automotive fuse can be mounted in fuse blocks, inline fuse holders, or fuse clips. Some automotive fuses are occasionally used in non-automotive electrical applications. Standards for automotive fuses are published by SAE International (formerly known as the Society of Automotive Engineers).

Automotive fuse can be classified into four distinct categories:

• Blade fuses
• Glass tube or Bosch type
• Fusible links
• Fuse limiters

Most automotive fuses rated at 32 volts are used on circuits rated 24 volts DC and below. Some vehicles use a dual 12/42 V DC electrical system[9] that will require a fuse rated at 58 V DC.    (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuse_(electrical)#Fuse_boxes)
