I want to limit the amount an electric hoist can lift by adding a fuse or circuit breaker to it. I did some testing and learned that a 2 Amp fuse will take a lot more current then 2 Amps, even a fast-acting one. I did some on-line research and discovered how little I really know about fuse and circuit breaker. I don't need to stop a lift if it's 10% over, 100% over is fine, but never more then that.
Question is can this be done, and how? By "how" I'm thinking that there might be a better method.
I know this sounds wild, and it may be, but I'm trying to create a point of failure that I can control.
