Internal supply wiring should be and normally IS adequate to trip external breakers without burning up.   That makers specify a correct supply fuse to fit tells you it is not just for cable protection. However, the biggest mistake is to think user replaceable fuses actually protect anything.       ..... Phil

Phil   I stand corrected. I just looked up some current datasheets and it's hours at 100% and several secs at 200%. I haven't updated myself and was thinking of some mfr's data and my own test from long ago which were around 30 secs at 100% and 1 sec at 200%.

They were rated for 32VDC maximum, and they got longer as the current rating went up, to prevent you from putting in a much larger fuse. Our shop used to stock over 250 series and values of fuses, including the Belfuse chemical fuses.         -- Never piss off an Engineer!   They don't get mad.   They don't get even.   They go for over unity! ;-)

It > can't be they do this just because of tradition.   Start caps are AC electrolytics. Run capacitors are AC rated film, or in case of that 80 year old cap, paper insulation. They are large, to dissipate the heat from continuous operation.   -- Never piss off an Engineer!   They don't get mad.   They don't get even.   They go for over unity! ;-)
