Actually Dave you quoted me as "both inaccurate and dangerous".

I challenge that.

I don't care what part of the world you're in, the Fuse in Figure 3 of TB008 is a complete waste of time, offering NO protection - let's repeat that in case anyone missed it first time around - offering NO protection to the User of that circuit. If that Fuse is in or out, the circuit will be LIVE. Microchip have dropped a bollock on this one - so let's direct the "inaccurate and dangerous" where it's needed - the author of TB008.
