With a bigger than stock battery I think that would work, but I'm still waiting for someone to test it out...
Ok explain this reality that flies directly in the face of your claim - my Silverado has a 400A fuse on the starter. You claim that there's no way the stock battery can supply enough current to blow that fuse. So why are there posts all over the net from owners with blown 400A fuses?
That's about as sound as your logic that because Warn makes and sells the power interrupter kit they recommend it for all types of winch installs. It exists so it must work? How big is the battery in the Silverado? Have you ever seen one trip? Why aren't the vast majority of starters fused? Why do they run a 400A fuse to a 1.5kW motor? That's only 125A at 12v. By that same logic Id want a 1,200A fuse on my 6hp, 4.5kW winch motor. As your Silverado is showing you, if you want an electric motor to start reliable you over size the fusing, not undersize. What size is that starter wire? So much for fusing to protect the wire?
Never said that.
The point here is that GM's engineers fused the starter in the Silverado at 400A. The stock battery is 750CCA. According to your claim, that fuse will never blow. Yet it has and continues to. You do not seem to understand how fuses work...and you seem dead set on not learning.
Kinda looks like it's for the starter...Stupid question: what is the 300A fuse for? Seen on the right side, would be at the rear of the fuse box.
Edit: nevermind.
There's a chart that anyone who can read can understand. No fuses don't require power to ramp on slowly to not trip. That isn't how fuses work. Not only do you get the full load current when you turn on an electric motor you get the massive startup spike. If fuses worked like you think they do you would blow a fuse every time you turned on a motor period. Not only do they not trip faster if the spike is instantaneous they are rated to cushion that and then still trip if the high load persists. Look at the curve for Christ's sake. The 750 CCA is nearly 190% of the CCA so yes if the starter remained engaged for long enough it could trip but no it wouldn't be instantaneous. Not enough available current.
What a mess. You don't get it and you don't want to get it.
It does, they just don't have those exact numbers. We can safely assume it's somewhere between 1 second and 4 hours. LOL.
It would be N7 & N8 on the diagram which are Alternator/BSG.
Scott, I might be late with this reply, as I haven’t read the plethora of comments after yours yet.
F02 "Starter" is 40A. Probably not the starter power, but would probably prevent the engine from starting.

Bury your head in the sand all you want. The only way a fuse trips faster/ near instantaneously is via a massive current spike period. Unless you hit it with 400% or more of its rating its going to take time to trip. That's what these charts tell you. The closer your over current is to the rated current, the longer it takes. Being that your source in the JLs case isn't capable of 1600A, it won't trip a 400A breaker quickly period. Of course there are picture of the 300A fuse in the JL that says alternator/ belt start generator (which is the alternator on etorque models) and you immediately say it looks like it goes to the starter. You live in your own alternate universe with made up facts unsupported by the evidence clearly presented to you. I decided to go out and look at the Jeep. 300A zcase fuse goes to the alternator, and the starter wire runs unfused straight to the battery... just like my winch line.
That's the starter relay that's fused, if you look at your Jeep, you'll see the power wire from the starter runs straight to the battery.
