"How is the Kill_A_Watt doing with AC unit running through it without a fuse?"
*Inside of mine, there is a very small ceramic fuse with a very low rating.(That fuse was fine)
**The fuse that blew from pulling more than 15 amps through the meter was the soldered thermal fuse for 15 amps at 99C.
-for a quick temporary fix, I snipped the fuse out and twisted the soldered leads together, I plan to head to radio shack and pick up a replacement fuse that I can solder in to replace the one that blew.
***The Kill-A-Watt works just fine with the ac pulling power through it with and with-out a fuse.
It will beep the warning tone of over load for 1/2 a second when the ac is first turned on, but that about it.
I blew the thermal fuse in the meter running a 1500 watt water heater element and the ac at the same time. The fuse lasted for a minute or so, then popped.
