Power supply main fuse
There are several fuse options.
The MDQ (That is MDQ, not MDL) is a "Dual-Element" fuse - it has a coil spring connected to a lump of metal and from the other end of the metal a wire that goes to the other end cap, this will sustain over currents of 200% for a maximum of 120 seconds for all fuse values (no minimum time given), it will hold 100% forever, and 135% for 60 minutes maximum.
The MDL is a coil of wire wrapped around a core and it shares the same characteristics: 200% for a max of 120 seconds (min time from 3 to 5 seconds), 135% for max of 60 minutes and 100% forever, however for values between 1/16 through 3A @ 200% it will hold for a minimum of 5 seconds, and for values from 3-2/10 through 8A it will hold for a minimum of 12 seconds at 200%.
Of these options the best option is a slow blow MDL or Ceramic fuse that is rated at 15 amps. Specifically a F1 or T1 style.
