If it draws less than no problem. If it regularly draws over 40a, in a starting stall condition for instance, then it'll be a question of how often do they need replacement before the $6 breaker would be the better bargain.

Based on some really quick research, a slow blow fuse will react slower then the snap action circuit breakers FRC uses, while normal blow fuses will react similarly.
