  When I lived in the Middle East in the mid-1960s that's how
  they actually made fuses in residential power boards - each
  strand was rated for 10 A.  !

  On Topic - has any determination ever been made on the use of a
  12-V marine-rated circuit breaker versus a 3AG/ATC cartridge fuse
  in a distribution panel for Elecraft equipment installations?
