Whilst I will grudgingly confess to having popped a few mA rated fuses (and I mean a few, like maybe 3 or 4) in the 30-odd years I've been sticking pointy metal objects into dangerous places, I've no recollection of ever having blown an 11A one. Pretty sure I'd remember, it would be a decent spark!
Putting something in series (ie a meter) with the DUT to measure current is a crappy way to do it as has been mentioned numerous times on this forum.
