Makes a hell of a pop doesn't it?
Try a 2000 amp fuse. Those are a lot of fun. |

Just stick that pennie back in it's place.
It'll work, trust me. |

If it were me, I'd use a large rifle cartridge to take the place of the fuse.

A guy I work with did something similar in an older building by accidentally connecting 277 to the building structure. All the lights went bye bye and we were very sad.
And you don't want to go into the supply house and hold out the blown fuse and say, "I don't care what it costs I need one of these right now!" |

Wow, I had a tiny little cap blow in a solar charge controller, sounded like a firecracker going off.

So do you actually want to tell us what blew that fuse or is this just an attention post?

You should definitely polish that bulb with some fine sandpaper before you use it. It'll work much better.
