I'm a bit late getting into this discussion, but my curiosity has been
aroused.
Two questions:
1. Why not use a real fuse? There are some micro-miniature fast blow
fuses available which would not add much lead inductance, if that is a
consideration.
2. If the fuse blows, you wouldn't want the grid to be floating I'd
think. Do you parallel the fuse with a high value resistor to maintain
DC continuity?
