Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
How many amps should a low voltage fuse be rated for?
A low voltage fuse should be rated for 30 amps.
Low volt fuse to high volt fuse?
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 is use a 32v fuse instead of a 125v fuse?
No. If the voltage rating of a fuse is too low for the circuit in which it is fitted then, when the fuse operates (i.e. its link melts), the circuit voltage might maintain the resulting arc within the fuse, and it will fail to protect that circuit.
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.
How fuses are rated?
Fuses are rated by amperage (current) and voltage. The larger the current need, the larger the rating of the fuse, to handle the current. The voltage rating of a fuse defines the maximum value of circuit voltage in which the fuse can be safely used. A fuse should not be used in a circuit with a voltage exceeding the voltage rating of the fuse.
True or False The voltage rating of a fuse can be greater than the circuit voltage?
True. The voltage rating of a fuse must be greater than the circuit voltage.
What is the difference between 125V 15A fuse and 230V 15A fuse?
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
How do you identify the 12v and 24v fuse?
The voltage is written on the fuse.
Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 125v 3a fuse for equipment voltage is 100volt?
Yes, fuses of a higher voltage can be used safely. What is not recommended is to use a lower voltage fuse on higher voltages.
What happens if you use a fuse that's overrated for voltage but has the correct current rating?
Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.
How many amps should a low voltage fuse be rated for?
A low voltage fuse should be rated for 30 amps.

What voltage is measured across an open fuse or switch?
The full circuit voltage
Can is use a 32v fuse instead of a 125v fuse?
No. If the voltage rating of a fuse is too low for the circuit in which it is fitted then, when the fuse operates (i.e. its link melts), the circuit voltage might maintain the resulting arc within the fuse, and it will fail to protect that circuit.
What is the Voltage drop across a good fuse?
The voltage drop across a good fuse is very nearly zero, under nominal current conditions. The voltage is not exactly zero because you do want the fuse to have some resistance in order to develop enough voltage drop and dissipated power under fault conditions to blow.
What amp fuse does a kettle take?
In the YUK an electric kettle has a 13 amp fuse., together with a 250 voltage. However, in the USA the voltage is lower and so ther fuse amperage may be different.
