SUNN SX6350 Fuse Type

[wargs@pennswoods.net]

Hi,

I have a SUNN SX6350 in our senior center and I am trying to buye fuse that is specified on the unit:

SLO BLO     8 AMP    125 V

All I can find is 8 AMP 250 V type fuses

If I use the 250 V will it hurt the SX6350???

Hello:
 What that means is that the 8 amp 250v fuse will blow fast. You may find that when you power up the fuse may blow. The spec calls for a slow blow so it won't blow during the power supply charge up yet has a rating low enough to protect components and traces. You should be able to find them at Radio Shack or a local parts supplier (like Radar or United Electronics).

Hi,

Thanks for the Info.  I genuinely appreciate it.
Forgive my ignorance, but I still do not know if I can use a "SLO BLO 8 Amp 250 V" fuse instead of the specified "SLO BLO 8 Amp 125 V" fuse on the SX6350???

You can use the 8 AMP 250 VAC slow blow fuse for the 125 V. It will blow if the current is greater then the 8 amps after a short period of time.

The 250 V means the fuse can handle up to  250 volts with out arcing. This would be better then 125 V. The current is the same and will be safe to use.
