Default TV power supply

Dave D spake thus:

No offence, but by asking a question like that you demostrate that you
really should leave things as they are and forget about experimenting with
expensive electronic appliances!

Fuses are not current limiters the way you think, they are a failsafe device
to protect an appliance when either the power supply fails or the device
itself develops a fault. They prevent catastrophic damage in the event of a
short or fault condition and do not 'limit' current to a normally working
device.


No offense, but technically speaking, fuses *are* current limiters; it's
just that they can only perform that function once when the current
exceeds their rating.
