Do fusible links (basically, wires that melt) have any advantages over
fuses? Or are fusible links merely a cost-saving measure? Is there any
reason NOT to replace a fusible link with a fuse socket and fuse? Are
fusible links generally faster or slower acting than fuses?
I just tracked down and repaired a fusible link, I'm fed up, and I'd prefer
a fuse that I can quickly see and replace.
Does anyone know how to convert a Wire Link Size (12 to 20 ga) to an amp
rating on a fuse?
