Reverse Polarity Fuses Circuit Question
Ok fellow scientists :) What is so special about the reverse polarity fuse circuit in a converter compared with just having a fuse on the positive output wire? I yanked the 7355 from the trailer ...

Thanks again. I wondered if those sense wires at either end of the RP fuses group had something to do with the RP protection.
Not clear why the single fuse outside the unit should be close to the converter instead of near the battery where you would get more of the wire protected. I do want to protect both the converter from reverse polarity and the wire as usual with a "battery fuse" Or do I need two fuses, one at each end of the wire? The wire will be about three feet long in this case, but what if it were twenty feet long?
RJ, yes, I now understand your post with the single fuse being in series. I got off track when you said "they" and was still thinking about the two 30s (which are in parallel). All clear now! :)
