        I'm familiar with calculating trace width for current capacity, but
can anyone tell me trace width for making an etched trace into a fuse?  I'd
like to set a section of trace to blow at 10A, though that value might
change, so it would be nice to be able to calculate for 5, 15 or 20A.  The
copper will be .5 or 1 oz.  Thanks.
