SMIN 10 pcs F2AL 250V Glass Fast-Blow Fuse 6x30 mm (2Amp)

Product Information

Put a T in there, and things can suffer a bit of damage if there IS a problem, because the fuse leaves power applied for rather longer. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. I've seen it suggested by some sites only that slow blow use lower melting temperature materials - but this is not a certainty. I had one blow in my amp and I know its 125v 5a, but i'm not sure if it is a slow blow or fast acting fuse.

I have a potterton assure 30 combi boiler, 3 years old which has stopped working due to it blowing an internal fuse.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.In this case, at the lower temperature of the wire, the solder diffused into and alloyed with the silver to create a region of high resistance in the spot, which would glow red hot, with the wire rupturing next to it. This is similar to an F fuse working at well below its rating, so it will not protect against overloads close to the rated current. In addition to that, there are also FF fuses which are very fast, TT which are very slow and M fuses which are supposed to be medium. The third part of the element is a stout spring of relatively high resistance material, helping to heat up the lump, and pulling it rapidly apart when it melts.

Occasionally, as in the image above, a by-pass wire across the spring is used to adjust the characteristics of the fuse.

For special packaging, it is generally after opening the box, all packaging boxes, protective foam, plastic bags should be kept for a period of time. Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for electronics and electrical engineering professionals, students, and enthusiasts.I just repaired a pair of m-audio monitors which blew one of these fuses and it says to replace only with F2AL. If the fuse is in the mains input lead before any power supply unit, then it needs to sustain the start-up current required to charge the main filter capacitors - so, slow blow. The combination of lump and spring, with its relatively high thermal mass, also allows the surge to pass, but provides the protection for longer term but lesser overloads. While all this discussion on types of fuses is very instructive, I wonder whether it answers the underlying question.

Almost all I've had the chance to work either look just like fast-blow or have a spherical element in the center of the fuse.

If the fuse is in the loudspeaker circuit, ie, in series with the loudspeaker as a load, then it needs to tolerate occasional overloads, but open on continued overload - so, medium slow blow. I was an electrical engineer in the 1950s, part of my work was concerned with testing and selecting fuses. The fuse within a plug is a safety device that is designed to protect the lead rather than the appliance therefore it will blow if the circuit overloads or there is a fault. Incidentally, A good design should have F or T plus the fuse rating marked on the PCB where the fuse holder is. And do you think the power outage could do some damgae to the amplifier components even after blowing the fuse?
