	The fuse value is determined by several factors. Key among these is the amount of current, in total, that is flowing through the SSR. Another factor is the copper weight and size of the main AC traces. (Copper weight is how 'thick' the copper is on the board.) </p><p>		The fuse value is determined by several factors.

	~~The SSRneon-G2 has the largest combination of trace sizes and copper weight of any of the DIY SSRs to date. (6/17/2011) With that said, a~~ Fuse of 4 amps is a good place to start. If you want to drive more then 1 amp through any individual TRIAC (channel), then you can ramp up to as high as a 7 amp fuse. However, once you move above 1 amp through any single TRIAC (channel), you should put a heat sink on the TRIAC(s). This does not mean you can run 7 amps through a single TRIAC (channel). A single TRIAC can handle about 1.5 amps, perhaps 1.75 max. You will notice that the copper traces that connect to any one TRIAC are no where near the size of the main AC copper trace. So, just because the TRIAC you use may be rated for 3 or 4 or more amps doesn't mean the SSRneon can safely drive it at that amperage.		A Fuse of 4 amps is a good place to start.

	It is this authors opinon that you should run as low a fuse value as possible for your needs. For example, this author runs a 100% LED based show and runs several SSRneons with 2 amp fuses.
