Geoffkait: After all that was YOUR claim - that a straight wire bypass would outperform an aftermarket fuse.
To which Georgelofi responded,
"Technically YES, if one is a technician and a betting man you would put your money on the "temporary" 10mm piece of copper wire everytime, unless one is a voodoo’ist then your a believer that pigs can fly. That’s why this sort of thing is not getting any reco in the "Tech Talk" forum and should not be given it as well. Unless these fuses are resistive, capacitive, or inductive in nature, then there are grounds for a technical discussion on them, and if they are any of these then they can only be detrimental to performance in the power supply chain."
well, actually maybe YES for a stock fuse or perhaps for an aftermarket fuse of yore. But, as I already explained fuses have evolved. They’re like the Alien. Many modern (I.e., aftermarket) fuses address a wide range of problems, problems that exist with a stock fuse AND with a copper wire bypass. I am going out on a limb here but I’m guessing that techs don’t believe in wire directionality, do they? I'm getting the feeling techs might be a couple paradigm shifts behind the curve. Anyway, to summarize, the real answer is NO.
