Abstract: A fuse array for use in a vehicle electrical system having more than one battery, such as in a start-stop vehicle that automatically shuts off an engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and automatically restarts the engine when a driver starts driving again. The fuse array includes first and second discrete circuits, where the discrete circuits include their own internal bus bars and are electrically isolated from one another, even though they are part of the same fuse array. This enables the fuse array to independently provide battery power to different downstream electrical components, such as a power distribution device and various high amperage components, while still utilizing a single compact assembly.

Abstract: A cover for a vehicle electrical system component, such as a pre-fuse assembly, that includes an integrated hinge and locking mechanism. The integrated hinge allows a pivoting cover portion to easily be rotated out of the way in order to give access to an underlying component (e.g., a jump post), while the integrated locking mechanism allows that same cover to be securely locked onto itself when no access is needed. The cover is not limited to a pre-fuse assembly and may be used with other vehicle electrical system components, such as a power distribution device (e.g., a power distribution box, an electrical connection box, a junction box assembly, etc.), a wire harness protector, etc.

Abstract: A pre-fuse assembly designed to protect certain components within a vehicle electrical system against short circuits and to provide a user with easy access to a jump post for jump starting a dead battery. The pre-fuse assembly is a current-limiting electrical device that is mounted on top of the vehicle battery and includes fuses for limiting the current from the vehicle battery to a power distribution device and includes a horizontal jump post for providing easy access when jump starting a dead battery without increasing the overall height of the device. In one embodiment, the pre-fuse assembly includes a lower housing, an upper housing, a battery post connector, a master fuse, a fastener, a horizontal jump post and any number of other components.
