Yes definitely. I think a lot of electrical fires start where connections are made, if the connection is slowly lost there's more resistance and things heat up. Fuses can miss this because the current could be under the limit but that connection is heating up, that's one reason I love this wireless box. It's like when you plug a large heater into an extension cord, the plugs heat up much more than the cord. I've had one good story come in about these power bars, the fuse was blowing quite often and it turned out to be some piece of equipment going bad and overdrawing when turning on, the power bar remained safe in that condition so that made me happy. That's what gave me the idea for it to learn what an outlet typically draws so you can be warned if something is starting to draw more than expected.
