I am a firm believer in the replacing of fuses with the fuse-shaped circuit breaker pictured on the right- though, as I read the code, their use is not allowed.
I say "not allowed," as the code calls for smaller plug fuses to be replaces with type "S" tamper-resistant fuses. I believe that this was an oversight by the code panels.
I like circuit breakers because the reset feature makes it less likely that they will be replaced willy-nilly with larger sizes. Why go to the hardware store when all you need to do is push a button, then refrain from using the hot plate and the microwave at the same time?
