Bostjan commented: During the abnormal tests in primary circuit,
internal input fuse operates and glass breaks. However, fuse is inside the
tubing and broken glass does not spread around.
Would you accept such construction?

Bostjan,
Such a question can have several answers, among other things it
depends upon who the 'you' is.
If the 'you' is a party who suffered personal injury or financial
damage they probably wouldn't be willing to accept such construction & you
will hear from them.
If the 'you' is a test house or regulator they probably would be
looking closely for a way to not accept such construction.
If the 'you' is a tinkerer who likes to solve difficult problems
they probably would accept such construction & be happy that they could fix
it and get on with using the product.
Perhaps the question you should ask is 'would your mother accept
such construction?' or would she be all over you because of what happened.
Would the general public know how to clear out the mess in the
fuseholder and insert a new fuse to get back in operation?
Think about it; not all questions have one simple answer.
