Jonathan and Martha removing the kryptonite bullet out of Clark Unknown to Van, Clark didn't die thanks to the intervention of his parents Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent by extracting the bullet. Now aware of Clark's weakness, Van created Kryptonite bullets (or "meteor rock bullets" as he called it) and shot Clark, resulting in Clark coming close to dying much to Van's sadistic delight. Green Kryptonite bullets were first made by metahuman hunter Van McNulty after Clark Kent saved Lex Luthor from the metahuman hunter's assassination attempt. Van about to shoot in Clark with kryptonite bullets. This makes bullets a potent weapon against Kryptonians if a green kryptonite bullet is not removed soon after a Kryptonian is shot, it can potentially kill him or her.Ī blue kryptonite bullet can temporarily neutralize all of a Kryptonian's powers, including invulnerability and their healing factor. This means your little preamp can start a fire if you have a "solid block" in place of the fuse.A green kryptonite bullet can neutralize both a Kryptonian's invulnerability and their healing factor. The main 15 amp circuit breaker is NOT GAURANTEED TO TRIP (since 15 amps is basically 1850 watts of power). So, if something shorts inside the preamp and causes it to pull everything it can, it will still only pull a limited amount of current. This means that the transformer will only be able to pull and provide current for 50 watts. The transformer is also not that big - usually not larger than 50 VA. It has an internal transformer that will convert the 115 volts A/C to something like 15 Volts AC - a voltage that can be used by the DC regulators. Now let us look at something like a preamp. For things such as a garbage disposal - this is a motor and will definitely trip the main circuit breaker because of how much current it can actually pull down the line.

So, many people are saying "your fire protection is at the main circuit breaker". For example, if an electrolytic cap burns through, it will "short to ground" and cause the device to pull as much current as possible. When a fuse in a preamp/amp blows, it means the device is trying to draw more current that it was designed for. The idea of a fuse is not to protect your equipment, but to protect your environment against fire. WARNING: there are several people here on this thread that are recommending replacing a fuse with solid material (whether they are serious or joking).
