    No fuse, no way

    Why would I want a whole circuit to be cut because of a single device fault, and then have to spend time figuring out which device on that circuit actually has the fault.

    Plus if a device only needs 3A it shouldn’t be able to draw more

      and then have to spend time figuring out which device on that circuit actually has the fault.

      Usually that happens just when you plug it in so…

      Dunno, if I have a fault in my home, I want it to be spectacular.

      A couple of years ago I literally had massive blood pressure and walked like 2 km to go buy a box of fuses.

      Burning two fuses, I figured out one of the extension strips was bad.

      If I plug something in and half of my apartment goes black, TWICE, and needs a fuse replacement each time, maybe that thing needs to be tossed anuway. I’m no electrician, I can’t troubleshoot a power strip. It has served its years. Bye.
