Here is my problem/disconnect with regard to your point and reply to my questions –
As far as I know, the following IS (more or less) true as a description of how fuses “fail”:
“…the current flowing through it causes the fuse filament to get warm because it is, in fact, a small value resistor. It uses Ohms Law…As the current through it increases, the heating of the element increases, until the conducted current exceeds its current rating, when, ultimately, it burns through and opens the circuit …"
So, for whatever reason, I just don’t “get” your point, nor its relevance.
That’s O.K. I just would prefer more clarity when you (or me or anyone else) posts conclusive, unequivocal declarations of fact or “truth”.
Appreciate the civility and consideration displayed throughout our various back and forths…
Cheers.
