You’re drifting from the subject.No, sorry, your confused.
Try this type of slo-blo fuse in your power amp/sNever ever do this if the manufacturer hasn't used it, or you may cook many components, instead of a couple if it goes faulty.
Cheers George
Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again...
georgehifi Confused? You show a picture which sure looks like a fast acting, fast blow, fuse in a thread where the discussion is clearly about slo-blo fuses and you call me confused. Then you go on and talk about a fast acting fuse’s ability to handle high inrush current. How many power amps do you know of that use a fast acting AC Line fuse? As for the Bussmann MDQ fuse in the link I provided, that is the fuse ARC specs for the ARC tube amp I own. An MDQ4 250V slo-blo fuse. http://download.siliconexpert.com/pdfs/2017/7/16/3/4/59/187/ech_/manual/505268968020198product-datas... Regards, Jim |
Oh well......Still confused, and testy as well. Then you should have directed this directly at the OP, not just as general comment at me or anyone’s amp or amps, to give them some amperage "wiggle room" that just plain dangerous. Taken from the Electronics Engineering hand book: "Fuse ageing by switching loads. The fuse wire gets hot and expands when current flows. At high temperatures, oxidation may happen, which weakens the wire mechanically, and may be electrically, too. Switching on/off a load means the wire is bent each time. This stress may cause a blown fuse at some point even when the current never exceeded the threshold." This applies to slow or fast blow fuses., Cheers George |
@georgehifi, My comment, Oh well......was in response to your comment. Believe what you want, next time you switch on a high current draw amp, see if you can see the resistive element inside the mains fuse move and bend a little.Get it, "wiggle room".... Humor.... I am done George.... No more... |
