There's the fuse.
Yay! That's what we is talkin about
and so-o-o easy to knock up another one Jerry Riggovitch style with component leg offcuts, and solder it in
or if the warranty is up, and now that the unit is open, consider soldering in a proper fuse holder
If companies like TooHungLoW can install one of the cheapest fuse arrangements as seen on
EEVblog #596 "World's Cheapest Soldering Iron",
why can't (won't) a reputable brand like Weller?
at the least solder a fuse link straight to the PCB that will blow or sizzle away to oblivion under most 120/240/440 volts fault conditions.
LOL that's as cheap as I can think of (at the moment
) to score bean counters more coke and casino money to blow
I've seen this arrangement on primary and secondaries and it works.
Well quite a few transformer powered items with a 120/240 selector are still kicking many years later after being to hell and back a few times
the fuse links still intact with no apparent sunburn anywhere or trannie rattle
BTW: Does anyone in Australia sell/distribute fuse link wire in bulk lengths and various amperage ratings ?
besides the common 8, 15 and 30 amp stuff for older electrical switchboards
I've tried all the major electrical places, no go so far.
