[Milsurplus] Fuses to protect transformers

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

There are lots of ways to get it wrong. To err is human. To really make 
a mess requires the use of a computer <evil grin>.

Somebody already mentioned that fuses are to prevent destruction of your 
home/shop or to prevent your death (or both at once). Their comment was 
just not quite that clear and graphic! Compared to those rather 
important details, replacement transformers are darned awful cheap! Put 
a fuse in the primary and move on.

73,

Bill  KU8H

The full explanation was only apparent many years later. The simple solution - “don’t do that / read the label” worked pretty well even in the absence of all the theory.
