Well, they do say that the device is there to protect the fuse...
Actually my experience relating to thsoe expensive FF fuses used in
SMPSus ios that hte chopper transsitor will fial short-circuit, thus
ensurign the fuse is destroyed too...

Found in the chassis of an old 'scope. There's actually originally no
provision for a fuse in the 'scope itself - just a circuit breaker - but
quite why someone would take the trouble to cut a wire and then solder both
ends of the same fuse to it, I have no idea.
Err, yes... I think I've seen it all now...
