   Like others said, it depends, you must know (measure the current)   
   instantaneous current behaviour the first seconds after power on.   
      
   I've placed an example I-t curves .pdf on A.B.S.E. that gives an   
   idea of current stress behaviour of (particular/0.5A) fuses.   
   Data originates from Little-Fuse, the curves are NOT generic.
