Fuse or braker for dedicated lines?

bishopwill: ok, you wanna' be consistent: tell us YOUR experiences with different fuse/breaker types. if you have no such experience, then you've no right to criticize, even politely, those who do. now do you understand MY point? -cfb

bishopwill: fact is, worldcup has been around here longer than you have. and, while he may not be quite as articulate as our newly-anointed shrink/confessor, he does have an attribute missing in your makeup: a desire to learn without the constraints of prejudice and knee-jerk naysaying. those whose opinions you ridicule are well respected for their erudition, experience and tolerance of opposing viewpoints. your latest post on this thread adds nothing of substance to this discussion. if this is the best you can do, sir, i respectfully suggest you restrain yourself before clicking on the "submit now" button. -cfb

redkiwi: where i live, all our lines (electrical, telephone and cable) are underground. the main electrical connection to the breaker box is via conduit. hence, i'm not sure whether our gas and electric supplier COULD clean and tighten connections. moreover, i'd fear having someone just look at our electrical box would result in a $200 charge on our next utility bill! guess you have much to be thankful for in NZ. -kelly
