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.

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.


What amp is the yellow fuse?

20 amp on a 12 volt system


You have no power to your window switches and the fuse is good?

Check for broken wires. You can check for this using a simple cheap volt/ohm meter.


Can you jump a 24 volt system with a 12 volt system?

No


Why is there no power going to your power window switches on a 1976 corvette and the fuse is good?

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.


What size fuse for a 200 watt amp?

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.


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.

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.


Does the 1967 VW bus have a 12 volt or 6 volt system?

1967 was the first year for the 12 volt system in the VW's.


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.
