It depends on the precise type of slow blow fuse, but in general terms a fuse with a slow blow characteristic will take longer to operate (blow) at high overload currents than one with a normal characteristic. For low overload currents it will operate in about the same time as a normal fuse.

The inverse time characteristic of a fuse refers to its operational behavior where the time it takes to blow (or interrupt the circuit) decreases as the current increases. In other words, a higher overload current will cause the fuse to melt and disconnect the circuit more quickly than a lower overload current. This characteristic provides protection by ensuring that fuses react faster to potentially damaging overloads, helping to prevent equipment damage or fire hazards. It is typically represented in a curve on a time-current characteristic graph.
Overload - Overload album - was created in 2006.
Overload protection devices, like circuit breakers, may not trip due to several factors, including the nature of the load, the duration of the overload, and the specific rating of the breaker. If the overload occurs for a brief moment or is within the breaker’s time-current characteristic curve, it may not trigger the trip mechanism. Additionally, some breakers are designed to handle short bursts of high current without tripping to accommodate temporary surges in power usage. Regular maintenance and testing are also crucial to ensure that the overload protection functions correctly.
Oh, sure. People overload boats beyond their "maximum" capacity all the time, and sometimes it doesn't kill them. But a lot of the time, it DOES kill them, which is why there's a published "maximum capacity" for every boat.
Please don't overload the carrying capacity of the boat.
