I use inline fuses between my bricks and TIU as recommended. My issues are: 1. Why in an Alternating Current environment, we don't place the fuse closest to the short, like we do with GFCI receptacles in a house? 2. If the fuse being closer to the source of power protects our TIU better, would we be safer using GFCI breakers in our panel (that feed our bathrooms and kitchens), rather then closest to the short in the bathroom or kitchen? 3. If two fuses of the same amp rating were placed one at the track lock-on and one at the power source, which fuse would blow first, upon a short on the tracks? Thank You for any help in explaining our reason for doing this practice.
