In Reply to: RE: Fuse direction? posted by mojul on January 14, 2023 at 08:15:39
Earlier it was pointed out that in an AC line, which is where almost all fuses are used, the electricity changes direction.No one has refuted this. Yet no one has addressed this either.
Please explain why the direction of the fuse matters when the electricity that's flowing through it is constantly changing direction.
If the electricity if flowing through the fuse in the "correct" direction half the time and in the "incorrect" direction half the time, the orientation of the fuse shouldn't matter.
It seems to me that this is the "elephant in the room" question, which the true believers have chosen to ignore.

True, but many of these people are either confused or "nukin futz".
Is the simplest answer.

I have a solution BUT want some $$$ from anyone who does this.
Wire 2 fuses in parallel......with a diode in series with each. Wire in such a way that current only flows ONE WAY thru each fuse.
Make certain that the fuses are oriented in the 'optimum' direction......
Too much is never enough
Getting off on the wrong foot.
One step forward and one step backward.
Or...
One step backward and one step forward.
Darn electrons.

Respectfully, there isn't an elephant in the room. I think it's more like:
We all get the fact that the current alternates - no one is disputing that. But what the dogmatists seem to not understand is that some of us, depending on the aftermarket fuse and the piece of equipment it's used in, consistently have a preference for one fuse orientation over the other.
In some cases, again depending on the particular fuse and the unit it's used in, there is no preference for one orientation over the other - it sounds the same either way.
Could we maybe put this to rest and move on?

Yeah, except when you remove a fuse and put it back opposite you're not changing its orientation. :)
You're changing its physical orientation, but not its electrical orientation.
This seems to confound some. I suggest to think about it further.Calling those of us pointing out the basic electrical properties of this usage "dogmatists" is lazy rhetoric.
Remember, if the proof of your evaluation is subjective in nature only, then you haven't proven anything.......and any labels like "dogma" should be left on the sidelines.Dave.

To me....and I certainly could be 100% wrong, the word 'Dogma' has religious conotations......
Please see above for my propoed solution ot the 'mystery of the fuse'......

It may have that connotation to you but it isn't what the word denotes.
dog·ma
/ˈdôɡmə/
a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.
"the rejection of political dogma"

...but this one goes to eleven...
One of the luxuries of the tweaker asylum is you can ignore the elephant in the room. :)
In fact, the elephant is ignored in many areas of the audiophile industry. :)
Dave.
Ignore Elephant at your own peril.
You could Drown in the mess they make!
I doubt anyone would wade in to rescue ME and I sure and going in after YOU!
