@StompyRobot @SwiftOnSecurity PTC fuses also slowly wear out, so the cool-down period gets inconveniently-longer with each time they "blow" unlike proper trip switches. But hey, they're cheap—I recently bought a 20-pack for €0.51—and that's all capitalism cares about.

@pndc @SwiftOnSecurity well, you're not supposed to blow them in there first place.,. Replacing a glass fuse is expensive and inconvenient too!

@StompyRobot @SwiftOnSecurity There are a lot of things in this industry that are not supposed to happen but do anyway. It's a good day if "replacing a glass fuse" didn't involve the user crumpling up a chewing-gum wrapper and ramming it into the fuse socket.
