Can a fuse potentially malfunction or fail without actually tripping and interrupting the Flow of electricity? I'm curious if there are instances where a fuse may deteriorate or weaken over time, even if it hasn't reached its current-carrying limit and visibly blown. Understanding this would help me better diagnose potential electrical issues and ensure the safety of my electrical systems.
