Mark Lubbock Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 As you all know, electrical equipment runs on sparks & smoke & this method lets them both escape!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 However...being serious for a moment - did the little incident not just blow the 250m/a fuse ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Lubbock Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not on the 10A range Timbo-the fuse did blow, but instantaneous current, even with a 10A fuse can be quite high before the fuse blows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Mackey Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ah yes...the 10A range, handy but unforgiving PS my local Maplin still has loads of 'em on the BOGOF offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
