   Here we go again Phil.   
      
   ** Piss off   -  you know nothing RDH4 freakoid.   
      
      
   This topic of inrush current to magnetize the   
   core has been discussed before at length.   
      
      
   ** Then how come YOU never learned anything then ??   
      
       Head too far stuck up your puny arse  ??   
      
      
   But if working RMS current   
   is 0.5Arms, I've never seen a 5 amp peak let alone a 25A peak which   
   *might* require a fuse rated for such currents.   
      
      
   ** Fraid that is how it is all the time.   
      
   Slow blow fuses are all rated to withstand surges of 10 to 20 times I   
   nominal for that reason.   
      
   You illiterate fuckhead.
