So done with audiophile fuses
edgewound"a fuses job is to protect from a fire in your home or listening space" This is inaccurate, wrong, and false it is to protect the component and possibly a device connected to the component it is not to protect the listening room that is silly and mistaken. |
The job of a safety fuse in a component is to protect the cord that is connected to that unit in case there is a serious short in the unit. Additional fuses may be added to protect the component itself. Where safety items are being discussed, its is dangerous, ill advised, unwise to comment where you lack knowledge. |
@sugabooger The job of a safety fuse in a component is to protect the cord that is connected to that unit ??? The current is flowing from the input end of the fuse to the output end of the fuse. When there is a problem or a short in the component it causes an amperage surge that blows the fuse. When the fuse blows it stops the current at that point, hopefully preventing further damage to the component. Unless the home circuit breaker is tripped or the cord is unplugged there is still power to and through the cord, it just has no place to go, so current into the component is stopped. Stick in another fuse and unless you’ve solved the problem, it too will blow....Jim |
