How safe/advisable are resettable fuses?
I'd love to hear from some electricians on this one. We are currently renting an apartment in town that we're using as an office. It's in a lovely old building, but the electrics are very old. It still has a fusebox and not a lot of outlets. We keep extra fuses on hand, and haven't actually blown one yet, but I'm wondering about investing in some resettable fuses, such as the one shown here: http://www.drillspot.com/products/272133/CONNECTICUT-ELEC-VIEW-PAK_VPKMB-20_20A-Mini-Circ-Breaker?s=2
Are these safe to use? Any precautions? Is 20A the highest amperage they come in?
Thanks in advance!
BTW, since we don't own the place, replacing the fusebox with a breaker box is NOT an option.
I have and still do use fuses similar to the one you have shown. In my experience, I find them to be as safe as the standard screw in fuse. 30A is the highest that I have seen, but there may be ones with higher ratings. And of course, as with any overcurrent device, do not replace one with a higher rating. Hope this helps.
