The fusible link can be replaced with a fuse, not sure what size, probably close to 100 amps. The nice thing about a fusible link is they don't go easily. A direct short on a fuse and it will blow almost instantly. Say you but a screwdriver or pliers in the wrong place, fuse is gone. Fusible link would survive that. It will go before the rest of the wiring starts to melt but can handle a momentary direct short.
