Have a 20 plus year old microwave convection oven that took a 125v 15 amp fuse which is hard to find so can I safely use a 250v 15 amp fuse as a replacement?

Yes you can. The critical thing is that amps match. All 250 volts says is that it will work up to that value. You wouldn't, for example, use a 20 amp fuse since that could allow higher currents than the microwave could handle. The fuse blows because of excessive current.

Is a 125v extension cord ok to use on a 1100w microwave oven?
Yes. It should be a 'heavy-duty' extension cord, rated for 15A or 20A .
Can a 250V 2.5A fuse replace a 125V 2.5A fuse?
Yes, a 250V fuse can replace a 125V fuse if they have the same ampacity rating. The voltage rating is simply the maximum voltage that the fuse is capable of safely interrupting. You can go higher, but you can not go lower. Obviously, the form factor of the fuse must be the same, but that is often the case.
Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
Will 3A 125v work with 250 V?
No it will not work.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
It depends on what you are powering with the circuit, but probably not. The 1.5 amp fuse would blow in normal operation of the device.
Will 10a 125v power cord power a10a 250v?
no
Can you plug a 125v appliance into 110v car outlet?
Yes
Where can I buy a type CES 6 125v 15a fuse in north America like close to mtl qc Canada?
Radio Shack 15A 250V Ceramic Fuse for Microwave Ovens (4-Pack) Radio Shack Stock#/Model: 270-1040
Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, the voltage rating should not be exceeded. However, you could use a 250v 10a fuse for a 125v 10a fuse.
Can a 7a 125v power cord be used in China which is 240v?
No, it cannot.
