[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2453178, member: 561023"] Fusing power cable(s) [B][I]is a good idea[/I][/B] and a preventative against [I]possible[/I] problems. Failing to do so [B][I]absolutely will not[/I][/B] guarantee a fire. There are those of us who (a) are lazy and (b) take enough care in our installations to make power cable fusing not completely necessary. Please remain aware that I previously stated it [B][I]IS[/I][/B] a good idea and a great preventative measure that could potentially stop bigtime damage from happening in a bad situation. So having said that I am in no shape, fashion, or form suggesting that anyone should follow my example of being lazy. At the backside of that statement, however, is my irrefutable personal experience which shows me that you can have a perfectly solid install that doesn't include inline fusing for the power leads and still somehow manage to avoid anything going up in smoke.
