Re: Blown Fuse!

2003-04-17 by Tim Stinchcombe

Hi Dan,

We've had this discussion in the past, and there seems to be a 
difference in opinion as to what type of fuse to use. In mine (I'm UK 
based) the fuses are marked 'T100mA', which makes them 'time lag' 
(or 'slo-blo') fuses. The point of them being time-lag is to ensure 
that they don't blow at the moment of turn on, when an inevitable 
surge in current occurs. If the replacements you used were not 'T' 
types, then this may be why they blew immediately. On the other hand, 
you may of course actually have a problem somewhere with something 
drawing too much current! However, other list members have suggested 
using fast blow types as an added precaution. Probably best to 
contact your local distributor; but come to think about it, perhaps 
if Dieter is listening in, he can put us straight once and for all?!

Tim
