    Hey, thanks for your reply. By serial bulb I mean a incandescent lamp in series with the circuit. I was looking for a cheap and diy option, but I'll take a look on a bench power supply. I still need to get me a decent one anyways.

  • Hello. I'm a hobbist on electronics repairs, and I did some repairs on stuff powered from the wall socket before, using a serial bulb to protect the circuit in case there's a short. Now I want to troubleshoot a board that works at 3V and very low current (like no more than 100mA). So, how can I properly size the bulb I need for this circuit before powering it? Or is there a better way to protect the circuit than a serial bulb? Thanks in advance.
