In simple terms, whenever a fuse 'blows', the resulting gap in the melted element must be great enough to prevent the voltage across that gap from maintaining or re-igniting the resulting arc. So, in addition to their current rating, fuses are also rated according to the voltage at which they are designed to operate.
So, if you were to use a 32-V fuse in a 250-V circuit, it is likely that it will not be able to extinguish the resulting arc when the fuse operates, and the circuit will not be protected properly.

Why not put a 12 volt motor to replace the 120 volt motor in your freezer Will this work?
The voltage of 120 volts is more common that the lower voltage of 12 volts.
Can I Replace 2.5 volt Christmas bulb with 3.5 volt bulb?
NO! There are 50 bulbs in a 2.5 volt string or 125 volts. There are 35 bulbs in a 3.5 volt string or 122.5 volts. If you put 50 3.5 volt bulbs in you will have 175 volts and most american house have 110 volt service so you will have dim bulbs.
Fuse to protect 110 volt from 220 volt?
There is no such thing as fuses are rated in amps, not volts. a 10 amp fuse will protect against anything over 10 amps regardless of the voltage used.
What happens if you use a 12 volt coil with a 6 volt system?
Probably not much because 6 Volts is not enough to power a 12 Volt coil
Do you replace the coil from a 6 volt to a 12 volt when converting from 6 volt to a 12 volt system?
Yes. Since the coil is run at full voltage when starting 12 volts may be too much for a 6 volt ignition coil. It would be at about 8 volts when running. There is a starting resistor.
Volts are measured in?
A volt is a volt is a volt.
Measure in volts?
A volt is a volt is a volt.
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.
If a 50 amp fuse rated 32 volts is used in a 12 volt circuit at what amperage will it fail?
The fuse will fail at 50 amps regardless of which voltage you use.
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.
