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.

What is the difference between thyristor fuse and normal fuse?
A: THYRISTOR can be used to clamp damaging energy as opposed to a fuse that must blow open and invariably takes time to blow. A thyristor is much faster and controllable actually if the problem disappear it can be made to open up again and restore power for normal operation.
What fuse do you need to run a 200 watt bulb with 230V?
The formula you are looking for is Amps = Watts divided by Volts. Once you find the amperage you can decide as to the size of a fuse you should use. Remember that fusing protects the conductors of the circuit and not the load of the circuit. A #14 wire is rated at 15 amps and can legally be loaded only to 12 amps.
What is the difference between relay and fuse?
A relay is a switch; it is not usually meant to open under fault conditions (high current), and would likely fail if done so. A fuse is a fault protection device. If a short circuit develops, large currents will flow, and the fuse link will melt, causing the circuit to open. There are also protective relays, which are devices that sense fault, or other undesireable conditions, and are used to send trip commands to breakers.
Can you use 7amp 125V fuse replace 6.3amp 125V fuse?
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
Can you use a 250V 3.15A fuse to replace a 125V 3.15A?
yes. the 250v just means that's the maximum voltage rating the fuse can handle .. so it can def handle 125v. just not vice versa.
Can a 250V 2.5A fuse replace a 125V 2.5A fuse?
Yes, a 250V fuse can replace a 125V fuse if they have the same ampacity rating. The voltage rating is simply the maximum voltage that the fuse is capable of safely interrupting. You can go higher, but you can not go lower. Obviously, the form factor of the fuse must be the same, but that is often the case.

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 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?
No, it is not safe to replace a 250V 10A fuse with a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse must be equal to or greater than the system voltage, and the amperage rating must be equal to or lower than the rated current of the circuit. Using a lower voltage or higher amperage fuse can lead to safety hazards, including potential fire risks.
Can you use a 220V 20A fuse to replace a 125V 20A?
No, it is not safe to replace a 125V 20A fuse with a 220V 20A fuse. Fuses are designed to protect electrical circuits from overloading, and using a higher voltage fuse could lead to damage or fire hazards in the circuit. Always replace a fuse with the same voltage and amperage rating as the original.
Can you use a 1.5a 125V fuse to replace a 5a 125V fuse?
No, it is not safe to replace a 5A fuse with a 1.5A fuse. The fuse rating must match the current requirements of the circuit to avoid overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to always replace a fuse with the same or higher current rating as specified by the manufacturer.
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.
What is the difference between a slo-blo fuse and a time delay fuse?
There is no difference. Slo-Blo is just a trademarked name for a time delay fuse.
What is the difference between a 4 amp fuse and a 5 amp fuse?
1 amp
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.
