Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

Hi All,

instead of using a "gourmet" fuse in certain situations, I want to bypass the fuse entirely with a solid piece of metal. I also want to avoid soldering-in a piece of wire in the fuse’s place.

Are there solid pieces of silver or copper, the same size as a fuse, that i can swap into a fuse holder?

INCREDIBLY STUPID BY OP.

The fuse is there to protect your equipment, your home, your family and you from being burnt to death if the equipment fails or there is a surge on the line.

Not the first time this idiotic proposal has turned up here.

Get some school physics for God's sake.

And don't believe all this fuse nonsense.

 

If you insist on going ahead form a fuse shaped bar from solid copper, insert and stand back.  If you want the best sound quality you need to use gold instead of copper.
