Can someone verify if these modules have fuses?

My theory is they don't, and they are only protected by the MCB at the
fuse board/dist panel, either 6, 20 or 32A, and that may not be
sufficient protection.

I recall someone on this list had C-Bus dimmer that failed, due to not
fitting individual MCB's in each dimmer circuit, and when the bulb blew,
it caused a triac to fail in the C-Bus dimmer. Is this a similar type
failure that ppl are seeing with these X10 micro modules?

Im planning to use some of these micro modules, what is the 'best
practice' wiring scheme to protect them?
