Depend on the draw of the compressor. I used an 8 gauge wire with 2 inline waterproof fuses from a stereo shop. I had one in the engine bay and one near the compressor that was mounted on my frame rail.

I know the VIAIR DUAL pack 480s comes with an inline glass fuse. I don't remember the exact amps but it is the big stereo type fuses. Maybe a 40A. I know it says to use 8 gauge wire and mount the fuse close to the battery.
