15A 250V Ceramic Fuse for Microwave Ovens (4-Pack)
Radio Shack Stock#/Model: 270-1040
A typical 125V outlet in North America has a resistance of almost zero ohms when it is connected properly. The outlet is designed to provide a pathway for electricity to flow easily without significant resistance. The resistance can increase if there are issues with the wiring or connections.
There are two different electrical outlets for North America. The first, electrical outlet A, is used in North America and Japan. It is 2 blade NEMA 1-15 ungrounded. The second, only used in America, is 3 pinned NEMA and both are 15A/125V.
no.. it could damage your electrical components.
The voltage rating of a fuse (in this case 125V or 230V) defines the maximum circuit voltage that the fuse is safe to be used on. A fuse with a voltage rating of 125V should not be used in a circuit with a voltage greater than 125V. If a 125V fuse were installed in a 230V circuit and an overload current occurred, the fuse could explode.
The main difference between 125V and 110VAC is the voltage level. 125V is a higher voltage compared to 110VAC. This difference may impact the power consumption, efficiency, and performance of electrical devices that operate within these voltage ranges.
No it will not work.
no
Yes
yes. the 250v just means that's the maximum voltage rating the fuse can handle .. so it can def handle 125v. just not vice versa.
No, you cannot use a 125V 2A fuse to replace a 125V 10A fuse. The lower-rated 2A fuse will blow under normal operating conditions if the current exceeds 2 amps, while the 10A fuse is designed to handle higher current levels without blowing. Using a fuse with a lower amperage rating than required can lead to frequent outages and potential damage to the circuit or devices. Always replace a fuse with one that matches the original's specifications.
No
No, it is against the National Electrical Code to wire a receptacle with the wrong voltage. You should call a qualified electrician to change the 250V receptacle to a 125V receptacle.
