Hi People,

I know that the topic of fuses has appeared a few times and others
have experienced similar problems but I'm not sure what to do about
this. Sorry about the long winded nature of the post but I don't want
to leave out any prudent info (including details of my own stupidity).

I have an A-100P with a 110v PSU2. I'm in Australia so I'm using a
stepdown transformer that has a 250 VA rating. The A-100P is half full
and has been operating for the last month or so without a problem. I
recently added an A-118 (Noise) and an A-131 (VCA) and had no problems. 

The other day I removed a few modules in order to fit the spring from
my  A-199 and when putting the modules back in I accidentally plugged
my A-112 in incorrectly (I plugged the cable into the bus board
without plugging it into the left hand row of pins). When I powered
the unit on the lights came on momentarily and then no power. I then
realied my error and corrected it but it seems that the fuse in my
case had also blown. I replaced this with a 500mA time lag fuse and
this worked fine. 

Since then when I power the case on the fuse blows 80% of the time and
I've just run out of 500mA fuses.  :-(   Note that 1A fuses seem to
work fine but I'm aware that these are not recommended.

I'm not sure whether this problem is being caused by :

a. A now 'damaged' A-112 (still seems to work ok).
b. A damaged PSU2.
c. Unsuitable fuses.
d. Some other factor.

Could anyone tell me whether I've likely broken anything and if there
is anything that could be causing the fuses to blow ?  

Thanks in advance

Simon
