RE:
	"If I blow these fuses, and replace them with copper
	rods, what is the next stage of fusing/protection/damage?"

You might consider looking the other direction. Assuming there are no
further fuses/breakers downstream, a good short might melt the house
wiring. If the wires inside your house melt, the house could melt too!
