One of our portable heaters got an "open" in its heating filament, so now only part of it works.
Because of that, it's taking only half the voltage while still draining the same amount of current.
I had plugged it into one of those multi-socket, fused extension cords, and after a minute or so, the fuse blew.

I guess the excess current drain was too much for it. At least the wall socket can take it. All that this means, is that I can only have a limited area that can be heated. (Ooh snap)

It has been said that your not an electrician unless you've...

fried a fuse, blown up a capacitor, and been electricuted (or shocked at the least).

I've done two of those.
