  • There is a video of a fake fuse exploding at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVJVswLbqaA

    (This is just the first one I looked at as I have seen multiple examples in the past - at least with this one it automatically unplugged the faulty device ?)


    I agree with Clive about the problems of checking the wire diameter but I think that this is not likely to be needed as most fake fuse will have failed on the other bullet points. Perhaps if the other bullet points are deemed to be uncertain one fuse of a batch should be broken open as a check.
