In situations like this, I use PTC resetable fuses. They look like a ceramic capacitor.  The ones I use are solid state devices that have less than  0.1 ohms resistance and trip at 4.6 amps.  They turn into much higher resistance as they heat up to about 100C and can tolerate a 40A surge for a few seconds.  I tried selling them on ebay, but no one there was smart enough to figure out how useful they are.
