Slow blow
Fuse that can withstand a heavy current (up to ten times its rated value) for a small period of time before it opens. Normally used for inductive loads like fans, Transformers, etc.
Fast blow
Fast-acting fuses have no intentional built in slow-blow and are used in circuits without transient inrush currents. Fast-acting fuse opens on overload and short-circuits very quickly. This type of fuse is not designed to withstand temporary overload currents associated with some electrical loads.

∙ 8y agoNo, the fast blow fuse will blow the instant that the TV is turned on.
Slow blow fuses are designed to tolerate short duration inrush current surges of several times their rating and not blow.
Fast blow fuses are designed to blow as soon as the current exceeds their rating.
TV's (and many other electronic devices) have a very high but short duration inrush current surges as they charge up their electrolytic filter capacitors when first turned on. They require slow blow fuses because of this inrush current spike.

Slow blow are made for motors that can take a little surge, a little surge on a tv or any other electronic device could cause serious damage.

What is the different between gG fuse and aM fuse and FF fuse and gR fuse and etc?
gG FUSES IS FAST ACTING BUT THE mA FUSES ARE TIME DELAY FUSES
What is mazak in regards to fuzes?
Mazak fuses are used primarily on Mazak machine tools. These type of fuses are reusable. They are spring loaded to the fuse wire to ensure fast acting protection. The fuse wire can be replaced.
What does a 4a 250v slow blow fuse normally LOOK LIKE and Is it supposed to look like a fast blow with a bead of solder in the middle?
The information of, if the fuse is a slow blow or not, is printed on the fuse. In electrical terminology it is known as a time delay fuse. Smaller glass envelope time delay fuses will have a spring mechanism that can be seen through the glass envelope. Time delay fuses are used in circuit that have a high inrush current when the device is first switched on. A good example of this would be an electric motor. The bead of solder on the end of glass fuses is how the spring is supported to the end cap of the fuse.
What is the function of thyristor?
Thyristor is a kind fast acting switch. These are fully controlled switches
Can fast blow fuse used in place of slow blow fuse?
No. A slow blow fuse is intended to survive a short overload from the startup of a piece of equipment, usually a motor or power supply. If you use a fast blow fuse in this application, it will tend to blow unexpectedly.Motors usually pull four times their rated running current on startup, but only for a very short period of time. The slow blow fuse, or slow trip circuit breaker, is designed to handle this. Similarly, power supplies need to charge the primary filter capacitor from zero voltage in one line cycle on startup. Worst case is turning on the power switch at the peak of the line cycle. Inductance of the transformer (if present) and dynamic resistance of the diode mitigates this, but there is still a larger than normal current transient. Again, the slow blow protective device allows this in the short term.Hy i'm GbRlEuEeN, i used f10a(fast) fuse to replace t5a fuse(slow) but was on audio sistem(subwoofer) and i will change back as soon il get the t5a. ( i tryed f5a first but blowed instant at power up.
What does F stand for in a fuse labeled F6A 250V?
Typically the "F" stands for "Fast Blow" or "Fast Acting". A "T", as in T6A, would mean "Time Delay" or Slow-Blow. So, an F6A 250 is a Fast Acting (Fast Blow) 6 Amp 250 Volt Fuse.
How many second it takes the fast blow fuse to blow?
The time it takes for a fuse to blow, either "fast blow" or "slow blow" is determined by the design of the fuse and is described in a table or graph provided by the manufacturer. In general, the higher the applied overload current, the faster the fuse will blow. Fast blow fuses can open in milliseconds, slow blow fuses can open in several seconds. The fuse used depends entirely on the application and what kind of circuit it is protecting.
What is the different between gG fuse and aM fuse and FF fuse and gR fuse and etc?
gG FUSES IS FAST ACTING BUT THE mA FUSES ARE TIME DELAY FUSES
Why are fusses not good for short circuit currents?
A: FUSES are very good for short circuit protection. On the other hand a short over current may not make the fuse to blow since it requires heat caused by the current to blow. There are fuses that are meant to blow fast and some fuses are designed to blow slow depending on the circuit requirement
What does ACG mean on a fuse?
Are you sure you do not mean AGC? AGC stands for Automotive Glass Cartridge (Fuse). AGC fuses are fast acting fuses that will blown very quickly to protect components.
What is mazak in regards to fuzes?
Mazak fuses are used primarily on Mazak machine tools. These type of fuses are reusable. They are spring loaded to the fuse wire to ensure fast acting protection. The fuse wire can be replaced.
What body system is the fast-acting control system?
The nervous system is the fast-acting control system.
Can a slow blow fuse be used in place of a fast blow fuse?
Any piece of machinery that is designed to use a fast blow fuse should only use a fast blow fuse. For safety reasons this could save your life instead of taking it.
How to identify fast blow fuse?
If the fuse is labelled F it is fast-blow or T OR S it is slow-blow, the letter should be on the metal cap on the ends of the fuse.

Why does fuel pump fuse keep blowing?
Check to insure that you are replacing the fuse with the same fuse size and type (fast blow fuses don't substitute for slow blow.) If this is ok the either the pump relay or the pump is going bad and drawing too much power for the fuse to handle.
Is FRN fuse same as NON Fuse?
no A FRN fuse is a slow blow fuse where an non is a fast blow fuse. In a pinch a slow blow fuse can be use in a fast blow circuit but not the other way around.
