The thing to remember is that the fuse protects the wiring, not the device
on the end.

1/ Work out the current draw of the device.
2/ Select a wire size that can handle the current
3/ Select the protection appropriate to the wire size.

For the Europa use the following current ratings...

Wire size        Maximum Current
24                4
22                5
20                7
18                9
16                11
14                14
12                19
10                26

Use a fuse equal to or lower than the maximum current rating. eg a 3A fuse
would protect any wire size of 24AWG or larger diameter.

The basic concept is that the fuse should blow before the wire.

The table above is for 'short' wire runs. With the possible exception of
position lights on the end of the wing tips there are no long wire runs in
the Europa. For the position lights it would probably pay to go to the next
larger wire size than is required. I am running mine with 18AWG.

Hope this helps
