The reason you put fuses in a system is to protect the system for overloads or shorts.
It is commen to your car, in real airplanes, in your house etc.
If your system trips during normal ops use, then there is fundamentally something wrong.

I had a elevator servo lead shortened on my Ultra Lightning 10 years ago. This was because my thrustpipe ruptured open en melted the isolation of the servo wire. Luckily my Powerbox prevented a crash due to the fuse.
