[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 98659, member: 211"] Re: S16 audio drop outs A 2 amp fuse on a device that uses 45 watts seems pretty accurate. The fuse is there designed to protect the gear if things get totally out of whack. A 1/2 amp fuse would probably work, but if there was any minor fluctuation that put you over a half amp, you'd be replacing fuses all the time. There's also the inrush current at startup that could exceed the power rating long enough to pop a fuse that closely matched. Now if something shorts out, the current draw would be well over 2 amps, therefore the fuse protects against additional failure. [/QUOTE]
