How do you find fuse capacity in house lightning?

To find the circuit's capacity you have to look at the breaker or fuse that protects that circuit. On the handle of the breaker you will see a number. that number is the tripping capacity of that particular breaker. On a glass screw in fuse you will see a coloured disk with a number on it that is the capacity that the fuse can handle before opening the circuit. On cartridge fuses the voltage and amperage rating will be printed on the body of the fuse.

What does L stand for in a fuse labeled T2AL 250V?

A T2AL 250V fuse is a time delay, 2 amp, glass fuse rated for 250 volts. The L stands for low break capacity.


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.


Can you replace a15amp 250 volt mgc glass fuse with another type os fuse?

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.

What are the advantages of a HBC fuse over a cartridge fuse?

HBC (High Breaking Capacity, European term) and HRC (High Rupturing Capacity, North American term) fuses have the ability to break high fault currents. This is done by having silica sand in the fuse that the fuse elements travel through. On high fault current that sand will melt and turn to glass. This breaks the current flow immediatelyA cartridge fuse maximum current breaking capacity is very much lower than HRC, HBC because there is nothing in the fuse body except the fuse elements.

What is the differ between a ceramic fuse and glass fuse?

Typically, glass fuses have a low breaking capacity, while ceramic ones have a high breaking capacity. This is to help protect the surrounding circuits from molten material. And maybe the technician.
