But the inrush current will probably be doubled (depending on the design). It is likely that a 'T' type fuse is necessary, and the breaking current rating also need to be considered. An 'H' or 'E' rating is likely to be necessary. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. Try www.jmwa.demon.co.uk and www.isce.org.uk 2006 is YMMVI- Your mileage may vary immoderately.
