Correction: I believe that there are conditions where you would have 240 volts on the fuse in a standard single phase 240v circuit so it's best to use the standard 250v fuses. Of course 250v fuses are also fine with 120v amp wiring but the amperage will double.

Most people in the US will not have more than 120v on each fuse even when running 240v. I am not sure why slow blow was recommended, is that what the manual says? These fuses are easy to find, if you don't see them locally try Mouser. This IS the forum for Elecraft products, even though it doesn't always seem that way.

I have 110 and am looking hard for fuses for the KPA 500. Manual says two 12 amp fuses for 115V. tech said use slow blow ones. Any suggestions. Can't seem to find a forum for Elelecraft. Will 12 amp 230 v work???? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
