We used 2.5 amp fuses for testing. The power lead disconnected (one motor) on one of our test runs, and the fuse saved the other motor as the fuse blew when all the transferred to the operating motor. I believe they were standard fuses, not slow-blow. We are currently using the thermal protection leads on our current design for competition.
