Why are fuses needed as close as possible to the vehicle battery when wiring a transceiver directly to the battery?
To prevent an overcurrent situation from starting a fire
Fusing at the source protects the entire length of the wire. If a short circuit occurs anywhere along the wire, the fuse blows quickly, cutting off current before the wire overheats and potentially starts a fire.
