His warning is well merited. If your fuse seems to be creating extra resistance, use a higher amperage fuse. The warning goes for power cables as well-be very careful, I've posted a design with armored cable, it is NOT UL rated for connector use for 2 reasons-it tends to have trouble being gripped by strain reliefs, and the stripping of the armor can cut insulation. If you try or have tried this design take a good look and make sure it's insulation is intact, and don't apply extra pressure to the armor, try to make a good quality soldered connection, as this will increase the strength of the connection and make it safer, not to mention btter performance. To solder the plug end, try this-make the crimp connection then put your Iron (60+ watts necessary for this technique) on the conductors that enter your socket, then apply solder into joints. With enough heat, you will make a lovely connection with less hassle than heating the wire.
