I'm not sure of your question here. If you are asking if you can replace a fuse with a fuse with a higher voltage rating, the answer is yes, but it probably won't fit in the same terminals. The voltage rating must be the same or higher than the voltage applied.
No, it is not safe to use a 250 volt fuse in place of a 600 volt fuse in a 277 volt system. The voltage rating of the fuse should always be equal to or greater than the voltage of the circuit it is protecting to prevent potential hazards such as arcing or fires. Using a lower voltage fuse could result in the fuse failing to blow properly and may lead to dangerous conditions.
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.
No, a 250-Amp fuse would be much larger than a 25-amp fuse. A fuse is generally designed to have a thermal runaway and melt the connection when there is too much current for too long.
If you are lucky the fuse will blow. If not the refrigerator might catch fire.
The voltage rating of a fuse has to do with how long the fuse is / how much dielectric strength exists between the two terminals that don't melt. If you use a fuse that is rated for too low of a voltage, it will likely melt for a fault condition, but the voltage is too high for the gap distance, so an arc will develop across the (open) fuse. So...the fuse does no good. It will not protect equipment if used at a higher voltage than it is rated.

The material for the fuse wire should have low resistance and a low melting point. Ductility is a incidental factor. As the current flow nears the fuse rating, the high current flow causes the wire to heat up quickly. It then melts, opening (breaking) the circuit. This is how the fuse limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit.
the high beams work off of a different fuse , both low beams are on the same fuse. fuse panel under dash on drivers side
The headlights are on two different fuses. The high beams are on one fuse and the low beams are on another fuse. The fuse for the low beams may need to be changed.
No, fuse wire is characterized by low resistance and a low melting point. This allows the fuse wire to melt quickly and break the circuit when there is an overload of current, thereby protecting the circuit from damage.

A device that melts under high current , not high voltage is a circuit protective fuse. There are many fuses that are rated for voltages in the 10,000 volt range. It is the over current that trips them.
The resistance of fuse wire is low, typically in the range of 0.01 to 1 ohm. This low resistance allows the fuse wire to quickly heat up and melt when current exceeds a safe level, breaking the circuit and protecting the rest of the circuit from damage.
It has high specific resistance and low melting point.........
Yes. There are fuses for Low beam Left, Low beam Right, High beam Left, High Beam Right. Located in the Under hood Fuse Box.
On a 2000 Lincoln LS : ( # 9 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the right front low beam ( # 23 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the right front high beam ( # 25) is a 10 amp fuse for the left front low beam ( # 11 ) is a 10 amp fuse for the left front high beam
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.
