What is the minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12 volt circuit?
No current bro? Depends
Can you use 250 volt fuse in place of 600 volt fuse on a 277 volt system in a in line fuse holder?
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.
Can 120V cloth iron be used in 240V?
The answer is No for an iron that was sold only for use in US, Canada or other countries using similar household AC power supplies. Unless the iron has a switch on it, to allow it to be used safely in countries which use 220-240 volts as the standard household supply, a 120 Volt iron must only be used on the 120 Volt power supply that it was designed to use. If it does not have a switch to convert its voltage, it is highly dangerous to try to use a 120 Volt iron on 240 volts. If a fuse or breaker did not trip to break the power supply the iron and/or its flex would overheat so much that they would probably catch on fire - not only would that ruin the iron, it would be dangerous to you and your home! If you change the iron's US-type 120 Volt plug to a US-type 240 volt plug, the results would be much more dangerous because a 240 Volt circuit has breakers designed to allow a high current draw - such as for a kitchen range or a clothes drier - and those breakers may not trip to cut off the current if you could just plug in a 120 Volt iron without first changing its plug. That is why the iron has a 120 Volt plug and not a 240 volt plug!
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 minimum fuse rating is needed for a 12volt curcuit with a 36 watt bulb?
To calculate the minimum fuse rating needed for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit, divide the wattage by the voltage (36W / 12V = 3A). Therefore, a minimum 3A fuse would be sufficient for a 36W bulb on a 12V circuit.

Is a 10 ampere fuse suitable for 240 volt?
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.

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.
Is a fuse rated 8 volt 25 amps equal to a 8 volt 250 mp fuse?
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.
Can you sub a 250 volt 1.5 amp fuse in place of a 125 volt 3 amp fuse?
Yes, you can substitute a 250 volt fuse in place of a 125 volt fuse. You just can't go the other way around. As far as 1.5 amperes in place of 3 amperes, well, you've got a problem there because the fuse will blow at about 1.5 amperes instead of 3 amperes, so the intended load will not be met. All of this, of course, assumes that the physical size of the fuse is the same. Bottom line is never substitute fuses.
What will happen if 110 volt refrigerator was plug to 220 volt?
If you are lucky the fuse will blow. If not the refrigerator might catch fire.
Where can you find a 10 amp 125 volt fuse at?
Assuming the wiring is sized for 12 amps, you can replace your fuse with any 12 amp fuse or smaller and with a voltage rating at or above what you expect to connect to it. The amp rating protects the wire, so you cannot go above what the wire can handle. The voltage rating is the max voltage that it can safely protect, so you cannot use a fuse with a lower voltage rating than you expect to connect to.
What is the fuse rating of 600watt appliance on a 220 volt supply?
To calculate the fuse rating for a 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply, you can use the formula: Fuse rating = (Power/Voltage). In this case, it would be 600 watts / 220 volts, which equals approximately 2.73 amps. Therefore, you would need a 3 amp fuse for the 600 watt appliance on a 220 volt supply.
