I want to build a ATX converted bench power supply.
I like this instructional video by Great Scott.
But he does not use any fuses on the power lines.
I know seeed sudio sells this break out board with polyswitch resettable fuses on the power lines.
http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/ATX-breakout-board-bench-power-supply-p-1222.htmlI like the idea, but I want to build everything in the atx case with resetable fuses using a through hole package.
I looked on octopart and found some fuses but cant find any through hole resettable fuses with the same specs as seedstudio.
My question is what would be an acceptable spec for a through hole resettable fuses for this project. ie trip amperages, etc
Another questions. Seed studio basically uses one wire for each power line, ir 5v, 12, 3.3, for each output post. But great scott cuts all the lines and bundles all the like kind voltage lines together. what does that do the amperage? ie 1 wire of 5 volts = 2 amps, 2 wires bundled of 5v= 4 amps, etc. Am I thinking of this correctly for the amperages?
Also, any tips or other plans that are better I would be open to suggestions.
Thanks.
