Yes a 10 amp fuse can be used to protect a 240 volt circuit. The amperage rating of a fuse is based on the given amperage load of the circuit. The voltage rating on a fuse must match or be higher than the voltage that is applied to the fuse. In other words you can not use a 240 volt fuse on a 277, 347, 480 or 600 volt circuit but it can be used on a 120 volt, Manufactures of switching equipment today make it impossible to interchange different voltage fuses to be installed in higher voltage switches.
What else can I help you with?
What is the maximum wattage for 5 amp fuse?
The 5 amp fuse has many wattages that it can protect. It depends on the voltage of the circuit that the fuse is protecting. Use the following formula, Watts = Volts x Amps. For example 120 volts x 5 amps = 600 watts, 240 volts x 5 amps = 1200 watts, 480 volts x 5 amps = 2400 watts and 600 volts x 5 amps = 3000 watts.
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
How do you wire a 240 volt street light circuit?
A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.
What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240
Does a 6 amp 240 volt appliance hook up to 110?
No, a 240 volt device runs on 240, and a 120 volt device runs on 120. Attempting to run a device on incompatible voltage results in damage.
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.
What is the maximum wattage for 5 amp fuse?
The 5 amp fuse has many wattages that it can protect. It depends on the voltage of the circuit that the fuse is protecting. Use the following formula, Watts = Volts x Amps. For example 120 volts x 5 amps = 600 watts, 240 volts x 5 amps = 1200 watts, 480 volts x 5 amps = 2400 watts and 600 volts x 5 amps = 3000 watts.
Will a 240 volt lamp work in a 110 volt supply if the supply fuse size were increased?
No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.
What are the differences between 120 volt and 240 volt electrical systems?
The main difference between 120 volt and 240 volt electrical systems is the amount of voltage they provide. A 120 volt system is commonly used for household appliances and lighting, while a 240 volt system is typically used for larger appliances like stoves and dryers. The higher voltage of a 240 volt system allows for more power to be delivered, making it suitable for heavier electrical loads.
What happens when a 110 volt lamp is plugged into a 240 volt source?
A bright flash and a dud bulb, possibly a blown fuse instead.
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
It is generally safe to use a 250 volt fuse in a 240 volt air conditioner unit. To properly install the fuse, make sure the power to the unit is turned off, remove the old fuse, replace it with the new one of the same size and rating, and then turn the power back on. Verify that the unit is functioning properly before regular use.
How many ampere in 240 volt with 100 watts bulb?
Current (amps) = power (watts) / voltage = 100/240 = 0.42 amps
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
How do you wire a 240 volt street light circuit?
A 240 volt street light circuit is wired in parallel connections. In the base of the street fixture an inline fuse is connected into the circuit that goes up to the fixture to protect the lamp head.
What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240
DVD player 125 v fuse replacement with 240 volt fuse of half amps?
The replacement fuse must be of the same amperage as the one it is replacing. The voltage does not come into play in this application.
One ampere is equal to?
120 Watts in a 120 Volt system and 240 Watts in a 240 volt 1 phase system and 415 watts in a 240 Volt 3 phase system.AnswerThe SI unit for electric current, the ampere, is defined as 'that constant current which, if maintained in each of two, straight, parallel conductors of infinite length and negligible cross-sectional area, and placed one metre apart in a vacuum, would produce between them a force of 2 x 10-7 newtons per unit length'.
