Andy,
     
     Could you provide:
     
     conductor normal voltage level, normal amperage level, and
     what type fuse - fast-blo/slo-blo, 32V/250V, amperage?

          Can anyone provide guidance on the design of a conductor 
          width such that it will not be damaged by a high current 
          spike.  I want to feel confident that, if a short occurs in 
          the system, the conductor will not degrade before the
          fuse has a chance to do it's thing.  So, this is not really 
          a derating question as much as one of short term overload.
     
          Thank You,
