Hi Matt,

Something else I should have mentioned about the breaker/fuse is the 
element is likely dropped in a bucket of water for dissipation. Things 
can go south if the element gets bumped or whatever and the whole thing 
fall into the bucket. One never knows what troubles may occur that we 
didn't "foresee".

Take care,
Bart
