What happens if you use 250V fuse instead of 125V?

For example, a 125V fuse can be replaced with a 250V fuse of equal amplitude while the voltage of the application is 250V or lower, but a a 250V fuse can’t be replaced with a 125V fuse of equal amplitude if the voltage of the application exceeds 125V.

What does ABC stand for on a fuse?

Bussmann ABC series are a group of low voltage, general purpose miniature fuses. These fuses are used to protect electronic circuits and components. Optional Axial Leads. Ceramic Tube.

When would you use a 5A fuse?

5 amp sockets are used on the lighting circuit, meaning they are switched on and off with the light switches in the room, rather than being used like regular plug sockets. They are designed for appliances that take less than a 5 amp current, for example floor lamps, table lamps and fans.

What appliance has a 5A fuse?

The clock radio has 3amps. 5 Amp coffee maker. 13 Amp Dishwasher.

Does voltage on a fuse matter?

The voltage rating is the maximum voltage that the fuse can safely operate at when an overcurrent situation happens. The voltage rating on the fuse can be higher than the voltage present on the circuit, but not the other way around. If a 250 VAC fuse is used on a device that uses 120 VAC, there should be no problem.

Does voltage matter on a glass fuse?

Is the voltage rating important? Yes, very important! The voltage rating of the selected fuse must be greater than or equal to the circuit voltage. Since fuses have such low resistance, the voltage rating becomes critical only when the fuse is trying to open.
