E a suportação da corrente elétrica, por exemplo: 1 am = 1000ma.

Answer

Because it is an overcurrent protective device -overcurrents are rated in amperes.

Difference between MDA and MDL fuse?

A = ceramic, rated at 250V (all values) L = glass, rated at 250V up to 8 amperes(?), but 32V for 9 amperes and above. NOTE: The voltage rating is important! http://www.cooperbussmann.com/pdf/2bd5c594-ca46-48ff-8b97-ab4af4af0569.pdf


Fuse box no power?

Check the fuse which protects the battery circuit. It should be with many amperes on it.


Can you sub a 250 volt 1.5 amp fuse in place of a 125 volt 3 amp fuse?

Yes, you can substitute a 250 volt fuse in place of a 125 volt fuse. You just can't go the other way around. As far as 1.5 amperes in place of 3 amperes, well, you've got a problem there because the fuse will blow at about 1.5 amperes instead of 3 amperes, so the intended load will not be met. All of this, of course, assumes that the physical size of the fuse is the same. Bottom line is never substitute fuses.

Can you power the Pyle PLMPA35 Mini Amplifier 12V 300W with a 4 ohm resistor instead of a 4 ohm fuse?

It is unclear what you as asking about as fuses are rated in Amperes not Ohms. A fuse that measures 4 Ohms would be defective (not good but not fully blown open either).

What is electrical potential of 800va inverter?

It depends on how much current it's putting out. An inverter rated at 800 volt-amperes can deliver 220 volts at 3.636 amperes, or it can deliver 110 volts at 3.727 amperes.
