I came across that in a 110 volt 3 phase to DC transformer many years ago.
The fast acting fuses were failing frequently costing about £3 to replace.
The diodes they were protecting were about 80p each.

After replacing the fuses with cheaper ones fast enough to protect for
overload, neither the fuses or the diodes failed.
