JEA48 is correct about the inrush current. Some manufacturers insist on blasting the current in, and the risk of blowing fuses is far greater. A good 30-45 second bleed of power in the circuit is far easier on the system, and fuses, but few do that. When in doubt, go fast blow, and get a few. Check the manufacturer request as they know the inrush current risks to the fuse. Jallen
Fast/Slow fuse?
I was looking for two kinds of fuses, one slow blow (10A, 250V) and one fast blow (4mA (?), 250V). Went to RadioShack and found that they had fast blow type fuse for 10A/250V and slow blow type for the other.
I just bought them anyway.
What would be the worst possible problem of using fast blow fuse instead of slow blow fuse, and vice versa?
