If the psu board is equipped with a black rectangle transformer (instead of
the round toroid type) it is the psu board that outputs only 650mA and a 250
mA fuse is the right one. I have no explanation why the label on the rear
panel says "PSU II/500mA". Maybe the PSUs have been swapped from two back
panels.

For a A-100G3 the power supply with 650mA is sufficient. I can't imagine a
collection of modules built into the G3 that requires more than 650mA.

Best wishes
