About 3 years ago I built a 5E3 Deluxe clone from a
@Modulus_Amps kit. I never use the Standby switch so rather than just bypass it I was thinking of replacing it with a panel-mounted fuse to protect the HT. Despite extensive Googling, I can't find a recommended value or type for this.
I have calculated an average current draw on the PT secondary of about 50mA, so would a 500mA fuse give sufficient protection against shorting, without risk of blowing all the time due to heavier start-up current? Quick blow or slow?
Thanks in advance.
