Just sticking a breaker in place of the fuse in this instance is not a fix,also a breaker in place of a fuse takes a little math due to the different rate of disconnect at least sometimes,maybe not always but say a 20 amp breaker may not disconnect quick enough to protect the wiring the same way a 20 amp fuse would.Addition to two previous posts- several companies make breakers that fit in ATC/ATO fuse holders.
These are the crimpers I would recommend: https://a.co/d/3jkjLDE
Totally. As with any wiring modification, one needs to look at the whole picture. Both ATC fuses and circuit breakers are well characterized and can be picked based on their data sheets. Even a Bussmann 20 amp ATC fuse needs to see almost 40 amps to pop in 1 second.Just sticking a breaker in place of the fuse in this instance is not a fix,also a breaker in place of a fuse takes a little math due to the different rate of disconnect at least sometimes,maybe not always but say a 20 amp breaker may not disconnect quick enough to protect the wiring the same way a 20 amp fuse would.
