Well, Bob Haller said he had 15 amp thermals, and occasional 20 amp inrush.
Why would that need to be "current split evenly"? Supposing they are
carrying 15 amps and 5 amps. What's the problem?

If the thermals are properly placed, they would both melt open when the
device overheated.

And suppose one thermal fails from old age? Then, Bob is back where he was
when he started.

I don't see the big problem.

Would it help to put two thermals, in parallel?

No. *You could not guarantee that the current would split evenly
between the two thermal fuses. *A more serious problem is that it
would require BOTH thermal fuses to blow in order to protect the
appliance.

I have used thermal fuses in parell. But really dont like it as it
would cause too many problems if a fire occured.

thanks for the link for the high current thermal fuses anything that
decreases my gasoline expense is well worth it.........
