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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.
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.
A bright flash and a dud bulb, possibly a blown fuse instead.
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.
Current (amps) = power (watts) / voltage = 100/240 = 0.42 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.
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'.
