The Danger of Cheap Fuses for DIY

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Fuse box

One thing that any DIY enthusiast should know is the danger posed by overly cheap fuses that can be purchased even on reputable sites like Amazon or eBay (not to mention Aliexpress or similar) or in Chinese shops that exist everywhere. These fuses are not properly rated, and the YouTuber demonstrates this by showing various tests on low-power fuses that can withstand up to three times their rating. This means that your electrical system is not adequately protected. Some tolerance is normal, but it is not acceptable for a 4 amp fuse to blow at 10 amps after a few minutes of use. So watch the test to the end and do not hesitate to spend a few extra pounds on branded, quality fuses if you want to avoid unpleasant surprises.
