Fuse question
#1

Another newbie question.  I want to add an in- line fuse to a 38-12 (115v, 40w) and a  39-6 (115v, 30w).  If my math is correct, the 38-12 pulls .35 amps ( is a .5 amp fuse adequate?) and the 39-6 pulls  .26 amps (also a .5 amp fuse?).  I've seen videos where the advise was to use 1 amp fuses but will this be too high?  Also saw one where a resistor was used in series with the fuse...is this necessary?  If so, how've to figure for that?
Mom was right...no matter where you go, there will be math!

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
