Default Re: Fuses

And having seen the end caps of a 13A domestic ceramic fuse blown out with molten metal splattered all over the inside of a plug when a direct live to earth and neutral short was created by my dad putting a pair of heavy duty cable cutters through a mains lead, don't ever think that the containment given by the body of the fuse is 100% reliable.
