Blown fuse

: What difference does it make? Did you get the point that you can kill yourself even when it is unplugged? I can kill myself getting out of the bathtub, but that doesn't mean I won't take a shower. OK, it's less likely, but did you ask how to avoid it? If I ask a question about fuses on Usenet, getting the wrong answer probably won't matter. I'm not about to trust information I get from Usenet about how to avoid death, so why bother asking? Puzzled the OP didn't ask the original 'fuse' question on an 'Electronics/scientific' repair group! This group deals with home repair, which I thought was more appropriate than theoretical electronics. Also, my question wasn't specifically about repairing electronics. I just wanted some information on fuses. You can describe a fuse in a sentence or two. Where it is used does make a difference in what there is to say about this. I wasn't interested in how the fuse was used. I was interested in what "5MF" meant. That would be the same for all applications. And this group had ten times the number of posts as the other groups, and I wanted a quick answer. Who says the electronics group is only theoretical. The one I read is not. And they do know more about electronics repair than the people here. I wasn't interested in electronics repair. I just wanted to know what "5MF" meant. And I wanted a quick answer. This group had much more frequest posts than the others. (no offense, guys. They know more than I do, too.) It would have been a better group for this question. Far more likely to know what 5MF means, because there are so many more people there who deal with glass fuses. I didn't need more people. I just needed one. Be careful! Hope the OP gets lucky with just replacing the fuse. But as with anything fuses are there for reasons; which include protection of human health, safety and property! I replaced the fuse, and ran it a few hours last night, and about four hours today. No problems so far. That's good. That might be the only problem. Remove NOPSAM to email me. Please let me know if you have posted also. |

oups.com: and the winner is: tony who got f for fast and bubba who answered the question in the third posting with the belfuse link which showed 5 millimeters. I notice this is your second post praising Bubba. Bubba is an obnoxious idiot. Why do you suck up to him? Besides, he didn't answer the question. He just put "5MF" into Google, and posted the resulting link. Any moron could have done that, and apparently, one did. |

The fact that a moron could type "5MF" in Google and you couldnt? So if a moron could do it and you couldnt, what does that make you? OR are you whinnin because you have no friends to help your "cause"? Are you that lonely? Do you need a computer buddy? Man! It must really suck to be you. Bubba |

as you see, bubba had the answer for you posted in only 21 minutes. i
looked at my supplier websites first, came up empty, and then continued google.com with more descriptive words to try and narrow it down. i think the confusion began when bubba said "Jesus H Christ! http://www.belfuse.com/Data/DBObject/5MF.pdf and everybody who read it thought it was a link to Jesus website. 5MF is clearly described as the fuse type on that linked page. |
