Howdy:
I have 3 power supply circuits that I am going to put in one box.
Each draws less than 1 amp off the primaries, and sure enough I have no
problems when I use a 1A fuse.
However,
When I split the power 3 ways off the power jack, and insert a 1A fuse
on each branch, the fuses blow.
Same with 1.5A.
3A fuses, all is good again.
I thought that on parallel circuits the voltage for each node is the
same and the current splits....
But I am missing something.
Can someone tell me why I can't use the 3 x 1A fuses?
TIA,
