Thanks again Deano
Hey,
It's not about "too much current" so fast breakers, or super fast breakers, or fuses won't do anything on this issue. The issue is the very very high di/dt voltage (inductive kickback) that's generated from current discontinuities the layout inductance, wiring inductance, and explicit signal transfromer inductance which zaps the existing TVS and eventually ACT244 drivers.
This fun thing describes it well.
