The heroic MOSFET.

Today one of my MOSFET power transistors heroically sacrificed itself to save 2 protection fuses. Ironically the MOSFET was rated for 55 A but my power supply in rated for only 30A. A strong power supply, heroic transistor and a lazy fuse do not make a good combination. I wonder if I should replace my fuses with cheap transistors instead.
