If you have something that's sensitive to overcurrents/overloads, then a quick fuse will offer better protection. If you have something that occasionally might pull more than its rating for a short while, then a slow fuse is a better option. It'll allow short overloads while still blow if something is really wrong.

Can you replace a 7.5 fuse with a 5 or 10?
You cannot because a five amp fuse would blow because the original fuse was seven point five. and a ten amp fuse would not blow quick enough to save or even be safe to use it in whatever you are using it for.
Is FRN fuse same as NON Fuse?
no A FRN fuse is a slow blow fuse where an non is a fast blow fuse. In a pinch a slow blow fuse can be use in a fast blow circuit but not the other way around.
When was Blow My Fuse created?
Blow My Fuse was created on 1988-09-19.
How to identify fast blow fuse?
If the fuse is labelled F it is fast-blow or T OR S it is slow-blow, the letter should be on the metal cap on the ends of the fuse.
What do the letters in T 6.3 A L 250V stand for?
T means Slow blow , 6.3A is the maximum current this fuse will conduct , any more and the fuse will heat up and melt the conductor . Maximum voltage capacity is 250V , this means the maximum voltage that the fuse can block from "jumping" . It means you can use it in a system from 0 - 250V with a maximum current handle of 6.3A .
What is a 4 letter word for a cut with a quick blow?
It means chop
Can a slow blow fuse be used in place of a fast blow fuse?
Any piece of machinery that is designed to use a fast blow fuse should only use a fast blow fuse. For safety reasons this could save your life instead of taking it.
How many second it takes the fast blow fuse to blow?
The time it takes for a fuse to blow, either "fast blow" or "slow blow" is determined by the design of the fuse and is described in a table or graph provided by the manufacturer. In general, the higher the applied overload current, the faster the fuse will blow. Fast blow fuses can open in milliseconds, slow blow fuses can open in several seconds. The fuse used depends entirely on the application and what kind of circuit it is protecting.

What would cause your fuse to blow when you turn on your lights on your 1993 mazda 323 the fuse to the tail lights on dash lights blow?
When a fuse blow what should you do?
Determine what caused it to blow, fix the fault that caused it to blow, replace the fuse.Sometimes people replace the fuse first, but fuses rarely blow for no reason, and replacing the fuse without rectifying the fault can lead to additional damage.
What burns a fuse in Ford Bantam?
A short to ground or an overloaded circuit will blow a fuse.
What is the Characteristic of slow blow fuse?
It depends on the precise type of slow blow fuse, but in general terms a fuse with a slow blow characteristic will take longer to operate (blow) at high overload currents than one with a normal characteristic. For low overload currents it will operate in about the same time as a normal fuse.
