Subject: Fuses vs. Circuit Breakers

Post:

Howdy Tappers,

Another one for the list... why use fuses as opposed to circuit
breakers or vice versa? Why not just use circuit breakers in all
equipment? I assume the answer has to do with space issues and perhaps
the maximum current sustainable, but I just wanted to check.

Cheers,
