No auto-resetting fuses on Spikes?

In this case I think it's more analogous to our spike scenario to say that we shouldn't bypass/decrease the over temp protection on the jaguar since the fuse seems to be for internal protection of the spike.

I agree with that but unfortunately the rules are the rules. I'm also curious to know how those 20A snap actions typically behave above 20A. The data sheet gives a huge range...
