Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????

Bob P,

I can't seem to locate any technical explanations for Isoclean's fuses, other than better materials, audible claims, reviews, and distributor sites. Nothing to explain the how/why directional aspect with regards to AC, DC, or frequency applications.

Anyone with factual explanations (construction or theory), or sites bearing the same?

Tbg,

Isoclean's responses are typical of most manufacturers pertaining to their engineering, vs competitor's. No real rocket science to standard fuse construction, so I'm baffled as to how/why theirs can make a difference. I'm no newbee to electronics, so this is quite intriguing.

Still open for info if anybody knows anything, or has done measurements, etc.

Tbg,

Write back if you run accross an explanation during your reading adventures. With such R&D investment, one would expect patents of some sort (international), and maybe there are. Then again, maybe there's nothing involved, and wouldn't be past me to purchase one for lab research benefits (including internals). Being amongst many fellow skeptics, this could be beneficial.

Now, understandably, there are concerns for fuseholder contacts as well. But, as with all AC power applications, there are several wiring and plug connections from/and within the breaker box to keep in mind, besides focussing on fuse and connection quality which probably happens quite often. (IMHO)

I'll look into it.

Tbg,

From the many years of observation, it's a no-win situation for anybody admitting not to hear differences. I admit being from the camp that requires much more than claims and personal opinions, since no one seems to agree upon standard testing methods, other than their own (non-calibrated) ears. I just need to know what, or why I'm not hearing something, and that I'm not buying snake-oil. Right?
