Re: An Electrician created this mess, why?
Hello All,

There is an issue being overlooked here. We can argue all day long about the pro and cons of fuses vs. breakers in addition to risk when something is being used correctly or abused.

There are other issues that are not dictated by law or code, but by policy.

In some areas, for whatever their reasons, some lenders and insurance companies will not provide loans / insurance with homes that have 60 amp services and/or fuses. I believe this has been discussed here before.

As a consultant, I would certainly want my client to be aware of this potential and recommend they check with their lender / insurance company to learn what they require.

Best to All,
Have a great holiday weekend.

Corey
