[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 248547, member: 3438"] We are talking about fuses in a panel, so it is more like an electrician. If there is a fuse in the device, then it may be there to help save the device, but usually to prevent fire in the device. Fuses or CB's are generally too slow to save device. An over-current in the device, probably means something has already failed. GFI are to protect you, when using AC equipment in a wet environment. Not the device plugged into the outlet. While I haven't heard of using DC GFI's, if they were used in the posters panel, as soon as the LED lights are turned on, it would trip. [/QUOTE]
