The short answer is, Yes. But here are the issues at hand:

If you require a 15 amp circuit you cannot go smaller.

Voltage of a fuse is determined by the voltage applied. You may not have 250v. You can use a fuse with a higher rating than the supply but not smaller.

Wire size is determined by overcurrent protection, which is your fuse, so if you use a larger amp fuse you must determine if the wire is large enough to handle it. Do not guess.

So the long answer is, Any 15 amp fuse with a voltage rating at or above the supplied voltage will work if properly installed.

Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?

Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.

What are the advantages of MCBs over traditional fuse carriers?

What size fuse can you replace a 750 mA fuse with?

Another 750 mA fuse. 750 mA is equal to .75 amps. The max I would put in is a 1 amp fuse and I would want to replace it soon with the proper one.
