Re: Ohm's law

["Lee Jones" <ljjones@xxxxxxxx>]

Richard Bies has it exactly right.  And that explains why a bad connection
CAN cause a fuse to blow.  If the series resistance is enough to cause the
motor to start up too slowly or to stall (because of INCREASED mechanical
load at lower speed - Think of trying to break loose stuck blades), the
current can actually increase to a higher value (and dwell there longer)
than when the motor is running normally.
