[Milsurplus] Fuses to protect transformers

[Richard Brunner]

No, he put the minifuse in the high voltage dc side.  It worked several times, which is VERY interesting, and then it didn't.

  Fusing the primary, I assumed, went without saying. :-)

All true, but, put the fuse in the primary of the transformer. The current  
goes up just as fast as in the secondary and the fuse is in it's natural  
environment, low voltage and ac, and is reliable. There was a report of a  
guy using minifuses to fuse high voltage, and it worked until it didn't.
