You could, but it would be safest not to. A time delay fuse will allow for a short (12 seconds or less) spike in the current (up to three times the rated current for the fuse). This happens when you start up a motor, or a compressor, etc... If you were to replace a regular fuse (say 2 amp) with a time delay fuse (also 2 amp), then instead of breaking the circuit at 2 amps, the circuit will go 12 seconds at 6 amps before shutting down. This could easily start a fire, so for your safety, it is best to replace a fuse with the exact same kind that came out of it.

Can T100L 250V fuse replace T80mA 250V fuse?
No, a T100L 250V fuse cannot replace a T80mA 250V fuse. The "T" indicates that it is a time-delay (slow-blow) fuse, while the numbers represent the current rating; 100L means 100 mA, and 80mA means the original fuse is rated for a lower current. Using a fuse with a higher current rating can pose a risk of overheating or damage to the circuit, as it may not blow in a fault condition. Always replace fuses with the same specifications to ensure safety and proper functioning.
Can you use a 250v 3a fuse to replace a 250v 3.15 fuse?
No
Will it work if you replace a 1.25 amp 125 volt fuse with a 1 amp 250 volt fuse?
Yes you can do that as long as it will fit in the fuseholder. It is acceptable to replace a lower Voltage Rated fuse with a higher but NEVER replace a higher with a lower. There are several things to consider when replacing a fuse: 1) The minimum voltage rating of the fuse is equal to or higher than the voltage of the circuit you are placing it in 2) The Amperage rating of the fuse does not exceed the capacity of the circuit you are trying to protect. Always replace a fuse with one that has the same amperage rating. 3) The interrupting rating of the fuse is sufficent for the capacity of the circuit supplying the fuse. If replacing a fuse always use one with an interrupting capacity equal to or greater than the fuse you are replacing.
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.
How can I replace a house fuse?
To replace a house fuse, first turn off the main power switch. Locate the fuse box and find the blown fuse. Use a fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. Make sure the new fuse is securely in place before turning the power back on.
What is ordinary fuse?
what is fuse law
What is the function of the time delay Fuse?
The time delay fuse allows a momentary overload due to startup current.
Where do you used a time delay fuse?
we use a time delay fuse at furnace area where heaters are used ect,
What is the difference between a fuse and a time delay fuse?
A time delay fuse will not blow at the first sign of an overload. It will delay blowing just long enough to allow a motor to start or a compressor to startup.
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.
How do I replace a house fuse?
To replace a house fuse, first locate the fuse box in your home. Turn off the main power switch to ensure safety. Identify the blown fuse by checking for a darkened or broken filament. Use a fuse puller or pliers to remove the blown fuse. Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage rating. Turn the main power switch back on and test the circuit to ensure the new fuse is working properly.
What do the letters mdl stand for on a fuse?
Time delay fuse.
Why use a Time delay fuse versus non time delay?
A time delay fuse will allow for a temporary spike in the current (up to 100 or 200% of the fuse rating), such as when starting a motor. A regular (non-time delay fuse) will not allow for any spike over the current rating of the fuse. If you have a motor that pulls 2 amps while running, but pulls 6 ampls while starting, then you will want to use either a 6 amp non time delay fuse, or a 2 amp time delay fuse. If you are talking about pyrotechnics, a time delay (properly called a slow burning) fuse will give you more time to run for cover.
Can you use a time delay fuse in your central air conditioner of the same amp rating?
Yes, and you should use a time delay fuse.
Should you use time delay fuse when installing a range?
No, use a standard fuse.
Can T100L 250V fuse replace T80mA 250V fuse?
