If you put in an 1.2A fuse, the remainder of the circuit would see a 12V higher voltage. Since the series resistance would now be lower by 15 Ohm, the current goes up and your 1.2A fuse melts. Hopefully it's the first thing to melt. | |

Unnecessary guessing work of the askers motivations. And he did accept this as the answer.

| Apr 10, 2022 at 6:19 | comment | added | seeker | Well now I get your point. I wanted to know likelihood I would damage anything by using e.g. fuse with correct rating. My bad since I wanted exact answer without providing schematics which is indeed not adequate . | |

Added new information from now-deleted comment, that PSU provides expected output with resistor replaced by a fuse. Removed borderline unfriendly text - it is not up to us to tell someone not to ask a question.
