FUSE Question...Very Confused Please Help !


I have a Ceratec Penta Amp ...Made in Germany.

The installed fuse that came with the unit is rated @ 250 Volt / 5A

The Fuse Holder which is under the AC plug states "USE ONLY 250 Volt Fuses."

On back of Amp there are a choice of two   fuse ratings:

#1.  AC 230:S2.5A

#2.  AC 110: S5A

I have it set to #2 setting ....AC 110 : S5A

I am confused. Is this fuse correct ?

Thank you

Sounds to me like it wants you to use a different sized fuze when you switch to 110 v. This makes sense since for the same power, current doubles.

Voltage is pretty much irrelevant on a fuse so you can still use a 250v fuse in a 110 system and indeed, that seems to be what the first sentence requires.

So my thought would be to use a 250V rated fuse of 5 amp, slow blow.

Which is what is in it.

Did you blow a fuse?
