Re: Could a magnetic field around CIMs cause fuses to blow?

Hmmm... An induction spike through a magnetic field? Interesting thought...

On the whole, I don't think so. It would need a pretty strong field (one I don't think the CIMS can create) to screw with the fuses in the ways you are describing. Theoretically speaking, you could do it, but it seems unlikely at best. Have you tried relocating the victors? That's the only real way to tell.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
