<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7966146, member: 103207&quot;]I know people did that in the past, not very smart.&nbsp; I have two power panels in my house one with breakers and one with glass fuses.&nbsp; Never had a problem with glass fuses.&nbsp; I replaced most of the wiring in my house and still use the old fuse box.&nbsp; In the 40 years I lived in my house I think I changed 3 fuses.&nbsp; However, I would like to point out as I rewired my house I also up graded all my wiring to a heavier than require gauge.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen what can happen when you try to pull to much power thru wire even if it is rated for it.&nbsp; I was told over kill the wire size and undersize the fuses.&nbsp; In other words if use number 12 wire connect it to a 15 amp fuse.&nbsp; And add more circuits to spread the load.&nbsp; If you blow a fuse find out way it blew before replacing it.&nbsp; Glass fuses don&#039;t fail without a reason.&nbsp; This is not like a circuit breaker that can fail for no reason.&nbsp; The down side of a glass fuse is that people tend to put a larger fuses than they should if one blows.&nbsp; That&#039;s a big problem and a major fire hazard.&nbsp; Sticking a penny in a fuse socket is almost a guaranteed fire hazard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
