what size wire are you using?

oh and by the way.. circuit breakers are usually more unreliable than a fuse. They've been known to melt open thus never tripping and frying your system.

melt shut... if it was open there would be no circuit. Unless I missed something.

ehh either way. I always thought of wire like a pipe full of water. if the fuse melted open the water kept flowing.

whatev though.
