I'm no expert, but I've been repeating the "conventional wisdom" for years as an inspector and making teams replace their spike fuse with a breaker for the compressor. I had heard that the fuse will wear out over time due to the start up surge until it eventually pops...
Can anyone with a better understanding correlate the readings posted in this thread with the compressor breaker rule we've all been following for years?
