Putting a fuse in a lead on a chinese tester has never struck me
as too
hard to do.

And will a fuse bestow upon the cheap tester the ability to inject a RF
tone into a live low impedance mains cable, that can then the traced at
a 50cm distance from the wire?

"A semiconductor protected by a fast acting fuse will protect the
fuse by blowing first."


Why would you want to put a semiconductor fuse in to protect a cheap multimeter ?
If teh meter can't protect itself maybe it shouldn't be used for that particualar test.



Try reading it properly.


won't make any difference, he doesn't know what multimeter fuses are for
