Are all fuses 250V?

Fuses are rated in amps. Most fuses for household items are 250V. We are told that we can use 250V fuses of the same amperage rating for our nominal 120V circuits. Thus, if I need a 5 amp fuse for an amplifier I get a 250V 5 amp fuse.

Can I use 500v fuse instead of 250V?

Yes. The voltage rating on a fuse tells you how high a voltage it can interrupt without arcing or otherwise allowing current to continue to flow after the fuse blows. A fuse of equal or higher voltage rating is fine as a replacement (after fixing whatever caused the old fuse to blow).

What amp is a microwave fuse?

Plugs for appliances rated between about 700 watts and 3000 watts (the maximum rating of a wall socket) should be fitted with a 13-amp fuse (coloured brown). For example: 13A Fuse – Washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, toaster, iron.

What is a 5 amp fuse used for?

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.

How do you fix a blown fuse?

Examine the fuses and circuits, looking for the blown one as described above. Unscrew the blown fuse and replace the fuse with a new one. For circuits, flip the tripped circuit from the center position to the off position, and then flip it back to the on position. Turn the main power back on.
