feeding an appliance rated at say 2 amps will still be protected by
using a fuse suitable for the appliance.

That wasn't the question, and you don't feed the appliance, thatr's one thing our studetns get wrong too, the appliance takes current , current doesn't get pushed into the appliance.

I hope you jest. But knowing you...


which you don't


we've seen enough of your statements about electronics to know where you're at with that.


I've not made many statements about electronics what I say is what happens in a student teaching lab.
Current does NOT get pushed out of power supplies a common misunderstanding it seems when studetns go from using a 6V battery to using a PSU set to 6V they are worried it will destroy their circuits because of the higher current rating, I've also had students tell me that their resistor isn't powerful enough.
