The typical fuse curves for a 200A fuse would probably never reach
"minimum melt" at 201 A, at nominal temp, and would take several
hundred to several thousands of seconds at 300A.
For example an RK1 fuse

A 200A will melt in ~ 1000 seconds at 300A, 10 sec at ~1200A, and 1
sec at ~2200A.

He indicated that he has a very special fuse.
