RRive replied to the thread Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?.Considerably 🤣 It is often forgotten, but fuses are not just about a single current rating (and type). They have voltage too, and also...

Like.
Fuses can be used inside a device to protect internal parts of the circuit as well as in supply leads to avoid passing too much current... -
RRive replied to the thread Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?.Just that the fuse were blown does not means that the current was anything really 'high'. There are fuses for small currents too. They...
