[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 144857, member: 542392"] It would help if it was an opinion. It's common practice and design... You are fused before the cap, therefore you are current limited by the fuse. Place a fuse after the cap, you are being redundant, wasting time, adding connections that increase resistance, creating voltage drop after the cap, limiting current, and extending the line that should NOT be longer than physically possible. If you limit the flow, your inclusion of the capacitor is completely pointless. You may as well throw it away, that is WHY it is supposed to be there. Transient bursts. Transient bursts WILL exceed fuse ratings. It will NOT be of a long enough time to open the fuse. [/QUOTE]
