A fuse is a weak point in an electrical circuit designed to fail if too much electricity passes through the circuit. If there was no fuse and too much electricity went through it it could cause fires or damage the equipment.

Can you use a 32V 15A fuse if the appliance calls for a 125V 15A fuse?

No, you should not use a 32V 15A fuse in an appliance that requires a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse is important for safety, and using a lower voltage fuse can result in the fuse not providing adequate protection and potentially causing a safety hazard. Always use the recommended fuse rating for your appliance.

Can you use a 250v 15 amp fuse for a 125v 15 amp?

No, it is not safe to use a 250V 15A fuse in a 125V circuit. The voltage rating of the fuse should match or exceed the circuit voltage to ensure safety. Using a lower voltage rated fuse can lead to overheating and potentially create a fire hazard. Always use the correct fuse rating for your circuit.
