If you are sizing a DC system, your work is nearly done. You have calculated the amount of continuous and peak power that your drive will require. To get the current for which the fuse must be sized for use the following equation.

...

Where P is the power calculated above and V is the DC voltage supplied to the drive. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SIZE A FUSE WITH A CURRENT RATING HIGHER THAN THE PEAK CURRENT REQUIREMENT.
