sugabooger"safety requirements for most equipment includes a fuse or equivalent unless there in innate current limiting. We are talking things like UL"
That is not even slightly, vaguely, or remotely how it works you will not find UL listings on the typical audio component unless it is made by one of the giant major manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, or Phillips. |
You continue to amaze, astonish, and sadden me with your willingness to argue about a critical safety issue with which you have no knowledge. While in the US, an NRTL test is not technically required, in much of the world, an equivalent is required, or self certification that states you have met the technical requirements of the related standards. In the UL, whether you have UL or not, you are LEGALLY required to meet NEC codes, local laws, etc. (which may require NRTL testing to plug it in) and DO require fusing as applicable to protect things like line cords which your breaker box is not responsible.
Just stop ... don't start typing a reply unless you are very familiar with this. This is a safety issue. |
My amplifier doesn't have a fuse anywhere |

You assume, surmise, and speculate on matters of which you have little to know direct understanding, knowledge or experience and this is a mtter in which I happen to be especially well informed.
"While in the US, an NRTL test is not technically required"
Right that is what I said so you can spare us the pronouncements, arguments, and what some Americans would call "bleeting."
"Just stop ... don't start typing a reply unless you are very familiar with this. This is a safety issue."
I have not stated, suggested, or implied anything unsafe, dangerous, or hazardous I have only corrected you're clear, obvious, extreme errors in statements which you present as unassailable, immutable, unimpeachable facts.
I will not stop replying to those posts I deem worthy of a direct, correctional, factual response. |
Out of curiosity I peeled the label away on my blown SR orange fuse. It looks like a ceramic fuse with modifications was used. I don't know what brand it is and am not bashing SR. Others may know what it is. Pictures on my virtual system. |
