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.
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rated at 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
# 10 wire is rated at 30 amps. Code states the the wire is only to be loaded to 80%. 80% of 30 = 24 amps. If distance is a factor then the resistance of the wire comes into play. Go up one size to #8 rated at 40 amps, usable 32 amps.
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 40 amps, insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.If the breakers rating is 90 degrees C then the amperage can be boosted for 60 degree wire to 40 amps, 75 degree C wire to 50 amps and 90 degree C wire to55 amps.
60 amps

A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
The amperage of a T2L 250v fuse is typically 8 amps. It is a misconception that it has an amperage of 3.
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 40 amps, insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.If the breakers rating is 90 degrees C then the amperage can be boosted for 60 degree wire to 40 amps, 75 degree C wire to 50 amps and 90 degree C wire to55 amps.
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
There is no rating for #14 wire in the electrical code book. This is because #12 aluminium wire is rated at 20 amps and that is the minimum of home wiring circuit wiring in aluminium. It is not, if at all, used anymore. #10 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 30 amps. #8 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 45 amps.
