In a simple 12 volt system, the fuse is typically placed in line with the positive wire connecting the power source (such as a battery) to the electrical components. It is designed to protect the components from excessive current flow that could damage them or cause a fire hazard. Fuses are usually located near the power source or in a central fuse box for easy access and maintenance.
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.
To determine the fuse size for a 200 watt amp, you will need to divide the power rating by the voltage of the system. If the amp operates on a 12V system, the amperage would be around 16.67A, so a 20A fuse would be appropriate for a 200 watt amp.
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.

20 amp on a 12 volt system
Check for broken wires. You can check for this using a simple cheap volt/ohm meter.
No
Broken wire or wire connection at the switch and/or fuse. You can check for any voltage present at those locations with a simple volt/ohm meter.

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.
No. Is a 6 volt system.
Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
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.
1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.
No. The 240V lamp will pop the circuit or fuse because the draw is higher than the supply.
