Normally I ALWAYS let it run for a few before turning anything on. I even do that with my 25KW genny. In this case I was screwing around with some new gear and just screwed up by not checking the fuel. I would normally be on the big genny and dont have to pay attention to fuel. It was the hunt in the last second or two before it completely shut down that caused the issue.

It was only the Yamaha console and Yamaha monitors that have the hidden (requires complete disassembly to change) fuses. My Driverack has the combo socket and fuse holder with a spare fuse. Guess Yamaha figures we would pay for them to change a fuse.

I think Frank's speculation about Yamaha's motives are more correct.  Yamaha assumes that we'll feed their products according to the name plate, and fuse failure is therefore most likely attributed to the 'no user-serviceable parts inside" contents and hence a probable need to see Dr. Gakki.

Never works out well for me when I assume something-I guess even the experts aren't immune!

Don't get me wrong, I love my Yamaha but how difficult would it be to use one of those combo plug/fuse sockets on their products?

I try not to assume.  I may presume or surmise, but don't ASSume (otherwise, some wise guy in the back of the room invariably trots out that old cliché).

Not to take sides-but one possible reason for burying the fuse would be to lessen the likelihood that someone will just slap the handiest fuse of the requires size or larger in.  Hopefully a qualified tech or whoever digs that far will take the time to make sure it is replaced correctly? 

Vehicles with load shed relays are presumably operated by trained and licensed operators as well.  Price a contactor capable of handling the full output of a genny and you'll find the reason.  Under/over voltage detection would be easy-often done in industry-but the contactor will add significantly to the genny price though it would make a nice feature that might come in handy when you forget to power down before you let the genny run out of fuel.  One could always build one into your distro if it becomes a habit!
