Thanks for this. At the moment we only have 110V circuits in our house. I
might get a couple of 220V circuits run when I start to remodel (but not
just yet!)

I have a step-up transformer (115V-230V) rated for 100VA that I use for
powering various low wattage European appliances. I've had a visitor
from
Europe use it and overload it. It heated-up quite nicely, but
fortunately
seems to be undamaged. I'd like to put an inline fuse on the input (i.e.
115V) side to prevent inadvertant overloads by people who don't
understand
what "you can use it for your hair curler but not for your hairdrier"
means.

Does anyone know of a modular unit that has a standard US plug on one
side,
socket on the other and a modular fuse? Hmm, sounds like I'm trying to
build a UK-style plug!

Since you want to protect the transformer, I suggest putting in a box
ahead of the transformer and put in an appropriate breaker in place.

Of course I have to ask; why don't you just use the standard 220V
already available rather than use a step-up transformer?
