Buying 7.5 amp 30mm glass fuses

Post by toyclean »

Hi anyone, know where I can get these. I tried fleabay and have googled a fair bit but just can't find any. It's pretty much the same for 8 amp fuses, which apparently can also be used.

Cheers.

Depends what amp rating you want. Glass fuses are rated at there blow current i.e a 15A glass fuse has a continuous current capacity of 7.5A but blows at 15A. Unlike blade fuses which are rated at there continuous capacity i.e a blade fuse rated at 7.5A is continuous currant blows at 15A.

Well, I looked on Maplins website - none at 7.5A. Perhaps I'll pop into one and see - plenty around nowadays. ANyone else noticed they're massive expansion?!

Anyway, back on topic - the current fuses are blade rather than quick blow.
