Using a smaller fuse than what's recommended here will be perfectly safe.

M.S. Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18 Southeast PA Post Number: 681 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Saturday, March 03, 2007 - 03:33 GMT It's basically the same as not having a fuse. It won't blow when too much current flows through the wire.
