Default Re: Small DMM fuses

"This meter (well, the near-identical ZT-102) has survived high voltage transients" surprising, there's not much there in way of protection, unlike an old Fluke.

Good point about Fluke fuses being expensive but at least they are proper safety fuses. How can a 10mm diddy fuse stop arching and blowing itself to bit's?

I blow the little fuses in my Fluke quite often. they're rated at 630mA, which is a daft figure. If your measuring a DUT a current surge at SW on can go over that , why not make it an amp?

I probably overly dissed the ZT101 and it's fuses Mark, should have done my research instead of judging a book by it's cover. Still don't like the diddy fuses though, might as well use fuse wire : )
