should not be used. This is electronics 101.

Silver-link fuses using an eutectic formula add negligible resistance within their ratings. Nor are they cheap. As you well know, silver is the closest thing to a super-conductor at any reasonable operating temperature as exists in nature, much better than copper (or gold), and so such fuses ought to be considered.

powerline expulsion fuses use silver wire as the element. I was told
nothing is as reliable during a factory tour.
