In Reply to: Over sensitive Expensive fuses ??? posted by ABliss on June 10, 2007 at 08:57:36:
Yes the same was found by Modwright (preamp) users. The Modwright has a large initial power-on draw, and it also was blowing some exotic fuses, but not the particlular brand it ships with.
The recommended workaround as to use the exact type it ships with. Another non-recommended solution is to use one of the exotic fuses of a slightly higher rating. However this could lead to trouble as the higher value fuse might be in spec to its blow rating. And if a sitution arises where it needs to blow, it might damage your equipment before it does.
Another fuse tweak is to tighten the clip strength of the holder by deforming it inwards first, cleaning the fuse contacts, adding a small amount of contact enhancer to the fuse, then using a small amount of heat-shrink around the fuse holder, which clenches the clips together even more tightly and it vibrationally dampens the fuse/fuse holder assembly.
