Fuses

[Dazza73]

Hi im a bit confused if anyone could help me pls. I need a 8 amp normal blo 32v fuse for my lightbox illumation. Can't seem to find on net in uk only the pinball resource. I have some 8 amp 250v slow blo fuses. Would it be ok to use 1 ?

It's ok to have a giggle i'm rubbish with electrics LOL

Does it say 8A normal in manual? Normally in pinballs it's a 5A slow blow

 

[Dazza73]

Yes it says 8A normal blow 32V on the fuse card covering the fuseholders.

8A in book

8AM slow should be ok but I'd put prob a slightly lesser amp slow blow in

 

[Pudsey pinball]

Is there a reason as to why it has blown???

 

[Dazza73]

Yes like a fool I thought I'd try cleaning the rust from the rear of bulb holder whilst switched on and the rest of the bulbs went off so checked the fuse and it blown

Put the 8a slow in but I'd get correct fuse ASAPASAP

And ignore the voltage rating. 250v can be used in place of 32v with no problem. This is the rated breakdown voltage of an open fuse. So 250v is a better spec.
