I just glanced over this subject yesterday as I am not a truck person. Today, read it and replies and finally realized what you are talking about. You have a trailer with it's own battery on it to operate a dump operation. Along with that you have a factory hookup that provides a system to keep that trailer battery charged. So, when you use the dump that voltage on that trailer battery is going to fall below normal alternator charging voltage , thus, the alternator goes to a high rate of charge to maintain charging voltage. I don't know how much current that dump draws when activated but it could very well put that alternator into a charge rate of 50 amperes or more. No way a 30 amp fuse set up sufficient. I would hook a relay up so that anytime you power up the dump the relay disconnects the circuit to that fuse. It would be rare that your trailer battery would require more than the fused 30 amp circuit to recharge it and in that case, that fuse would protect your wiring so you could alternately recharge battery or replace it. Then, as far as a different style fuse, you would have to make sure it's contact points were sufficient and also, I would bet that original style fuse is a slow blow designed to take a over flow for an instant before it blows.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development
