No, fuses have voltage drop both in their elements and contacts. Just what 
you're trying to defeat and avoid.

I recently purchased a used K3 and am building a short power cord (after the 
discussion of voltage drop from longer cables).  I noticed that the power 
cable that came with my IC7000 has fuses in both leads.  Since the K3 has a 
built in fuse it is still a good idea to put fuses in both sides of the new 
power cable?  It will be only used in the shack, not mobile.
