> But even then the proper current profile that a fuse is supposed to accept or block is far from obvious or intuitive. Reading the spec helps. Right. This. Even if you shove the standards in front of their faces, most engineers don't know what fuses really do (prevent fires) or what they don't (save circuit boards) or how fast it happens (not very). Asking your typical engineer to test a fuse lot is not going to give a useful result. This is why there are so very many safety agency marks on fuses and why even the Chinese often skip the BS and just pay for name brand fuses.
