Fuse for motor protection?

16 Feb 14 22:23:31

   XPost: sci.electronics.design, sci.electronics.misc, sci.electronics.repair   
   From: mcham@NOTyahoo.com   
      
   A small 1/2 hp induction motor is turned on and off with a motor-rated toggle   
   switch connected to a 208V 20A branch circuit. No other protection installed.   
      
      
   Obviously not enough protection so I'm planning to add a slow-blow 9A fuse   
   (rating of the motor) to keep it safe.   
      
   Any objections?
