Anyone priced fuses lately? Sometimes when troubleshooting an intermittent problem I can go through a box of fuses in a day. Some are in the $20-30 apiece. Sure would be cheaper to just reset the circuit breaker.
We have, just a guess, over 100 different types and sizes of fuses on campus and trying to keep them all in stock is nearly impossible. We had had equipment down for days waiting for a fuse that no one stocks. I've only had one occasion that a breaker failed to trip. But, I have also had fuses get so hot they charred the cardboard and didn't blow.
