[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 451789, member: 1607"] See Andy's posts. Additionally for general information JeffK, Although some may think a fuse is there to make a circuit work, it is actually not needed during normal operation. In fact in an ideal world where everything worked correctly no circuit would need any fuses at all. Similar to 99.9% of car journeys never need an airbag or seat belt. and some people may go the whole of their driving life and never ever need a seatbelt or air bag to operate as it is designed to operate. But in the event of an accident (fault) you are less likely to come out seriously or fatally injured if they are there and functioning. Fuses serve a similar purpose in electrical circuits. 99.9% of the time never needed, but when they are needed they must be correctly selected and installed to provide the protection. We have of course made no reference to RCD's and electric shock protection yet? Doc H. [/QUOTE]
