[V8] High Current Drain

[NicolCS at aol.com]

I have a suggestion for your circuit, if I may...
Instead of moving the fuse from the circuit to the socket, install a fuse  in 
the socket that's slightly smaller than the fuse in the meter and just leave  
it there.  If the meter is set to measure small currents, it will either be  
internally fused at 1a or so or it will have no fuse at all.  Any accident  
will either fry the meter fuse or fry the meter. If you put a small fuse in the  
socket (like 1a) it will protect the meter and be easily replaceable.  A  
fried meter is especially vexing 'cause it will read "0" and you will  
erroneously conclude that there's no draw in the circuit (BTDT many times).
