interesting loophole with those fusible links, yeh? the normal AC current
is enough to cause a very small contact resistance, such as that due a
marginal crimp, to get hot, increase still more in resistance, and
eventually either melt something important, start a fire, or, if one is
lucky, just get so big it severely limits current avaialble to run AC.
similar remarks apply to circuits other than AC.
