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?

Anything that moves generates shear.

Your speakers and all materials and surfaces even the fuse..

A polarity of shear left to regenerate will keep reproducing shear especially in a glass tube.Tom

I’ve never heard of this… in an electrical sense.
Do you have a link?

And my equipment is not noodlely and flexy to the point of the fuse holder having movement.

@theaudiotweak 

Your speakers drivers are flexy and they operate on shear an compression.

Shear travels from the moving coil and dust cap and both sides of the cone and a polarity of this shear wave is reflected back down the cone corrupting the next wave launch. A fuse contains an element that vibrates with electricity, you can see it in the video posted before it blew..that vibration is never totally mitigated. Transformers vibrate so they will also generate shear and pass it down the line. And so it travels.Tom

^This^ sounds like total, unadulterated (or maybe adulterated) BS.

I do not have a fuse riding on the speaker driver’s cone.

And if I grab the speaker cable like a Pentecostal preacher grabs a snake, it is not pulsating mechanically.

The transformers vibrating would only vibrate a fuse in the holder if the holder was on a flexy piece of metal… But most of the fuse holders are mounted in the chassis and freely floating on the inside.

Even if the fuse holder was flexing, the fuse holder is holding the fuse itself in by using springy clips that maintain contact better than a brush in a motor does.

I do not see how some other stiff fuse would not also have the same mechanical interface concerns, that a certified and UL approved glass cased fuse would have?

But I could be wrong, so Are there some graphs, or links, showing the effect that you are describing?

@theaudiotweak you can state facts. But fact which are not germane to what we are discussing is smoke-n-mirrors stuff.

It is appearing that you are spruiking total BS.

besides I'm not even a quantum metaphysics 21st century boy....

Noice!

I would not have guessed you were a BR fan. 

This discussion is going round and round with neither of the parties agreeing on anything. This is because both sides are bringing preconceived notions to the table and refusing to see the other side.

Sound measurements would help.
The “trust ye ear” deal is getting old.
