RE: Thanks for the technical info

Well... it is possible that an MDA or other slow blow fuse may work for the OP.

I'm assuming the boutique(?) fuse that he tried and blew was a slow blow. But if it was in fact a fast blow, that would quickly explain the melt down. Instead he could experiment safely with slow blow types, provided he used the same current rating. Of course the experiments could get expensive blowing through fuses.

The MDQ, MDA, MDL etc have different internal element set ups. You really need to look at the data sheets for each to see the difference in properties. Even though they may all be rated at the same amperage.

Cheers!
