I'm not sure of your question here. If you are asking if you can replace a fuse with a fuse with a higher voltage rating, the answer is yes, but it probably won't fit in the same terminals. The voltage rating must be the same or higher than the voltage applied.

Can you use 250 volt fuse in place of 600 volt fuse on a 277 volt system in a in line fuse holder?
No, use a fuse rated for the proper voltage.
What happens when using a 240 volt fuses on a 480 volt 3-phase system?
The voltage rating of a fuse has to do with how long the fuse is / how much dielectric strength exists between the two terminals that don't melt. If you use a fuse that is rated for too low of a voltage, it will likely melt for a fault condition, but the voltage is too high for the gap distance, so an arc will develop across the (open) fuse. So...the fuse does no good. It will not protect equipment if used at a higher voltage than it is rated.
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
A fuse rated for 250 v is fine for 240 v. The fuse might be a cartridge fuse, so it must fit the available socket, or it might be fuse wire that has to be fitted in the holder correctly.
Is a fuse rated 8 volt 25 amps equal to a 8 volt 250 mp fuse?
No, a 250-Amp fuse would be much larger than a 25-amp fuse. A fuse is generally designed to have a thermal runaway and melt the connection when there is too much current for too long.
Do you need a 240 volt fuse in each leg of a 240 volt circuit or should you use two 120 volt fuses?
Both legs of a 240 branch circuit need to be fused with a fuse rated at 240 volts or better. The voltage potential across the load is what governs the fuse voltage ratings.
Can you use 250 volt fuse in place of 600 volt fuse on a 277 volt system in a in line fuse holder?
No, use a fuse rated for the proper voltage.
Is the resistamce of fuse wire high or low?
As high as a kite
Does the material used for a fuse wire need to have a low or a high melting point - a low or high ductility - a low or high resistivity?
The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.

Your low beam headlights work but not high beam for 1992 camaro rs?
the high beams work off of a different fuse , both low beams are on the same fuse. fuse panel under dash on drivers side
Why do my highbeams work but my headlights do not?
The headlights are on two different fuses. The high beams are on one fuse and the low beams are on another fuse. The fuse for the low beams may need to be changed.
Why do my jetta highbeams work but my headlights do not?
The headlights are on two different fuses. The high beams are on one fuse and the low beams are on another fuse. The fuse for the low beams may need to be changed.
What is an object called that melts under high voltage to protect circuits?
A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
What are the properties of a fuse wire?
It has high specific resistance and low melting point.........
Is fuse wire characterized by high resistance and high melting point?
Fuse wire is charaterized by high resistance and low melting point to avoid surge of ac current through it.
Is there a fuse that controls headlights on a 2001 Dodge stratus?
Yes. There are fuses for Low beam Left, Low beam Right, High beam Left, High Beam Right. Located in the Under hood Fuse Box.
What number is the headlight fuse on 2000 Lincoln ls?
On a 2000 Lincoln LS : ( # 9 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the right front low beam ( # 23 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the right front high beam ( # 25) is a 10 amp fuse for the left front low beam ( # 11 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the left front high beam
